Between 1951 and 1952, four out of the seven works it consisted of were restored owing to the new defensive requirements against the forces of the Warsaw Pact. They underwent some structural changes, for example to increase their anti-tank capacity, and their by then ineffective armament was replaced. At the end of the reactivation process, this is how they were organised:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Apart from the works, the anti-tank ditch was also reactivated, which starting from the bed of the But stream reached the low slopes of Mount Paularo and blocked the valley to the east of the stream.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”inter|||on|||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||22px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”inter||||||||” text_font_size_tablet=”17px” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The barrier constituted a system with the fortified complex on the Monte Croce Carnico pass; its purpose was to block the But Valley in the narrow part of Enfrators, which had to be crossed by those coming from the north. Guarding this place was supposed to prevent enemy forces coming from the Gail Valley, which stretches westward from Villach, from penetrating the But Valley and continuing their attack towards the Friulian high plain.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”foto monte croce mobile” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#333333″ width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px||4px|||” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”44px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
