The Fort of Malonne was used with defense as Namur in 1914 and in 1940, where its rendering took place only the May 21st, is one week a little more after the withdrawal of the infantrymen of the NFP (fortified position of Namur) because of the crossing of the Meuse in the south, Houx and Leffe. The historian Jacques Vandenbroucke written: “the combat delivered by the Namurian forts since the May 15th 1940 is completely incredible taking into account the conditions of the ground”, by “Walloons resulting from a very regional recruitment”. He recalls that Le Figaro , inter alia, greeted this resistance, but complains that in Namur, nothing came to evoke it.
