question: Who was the French military organization that in 1940 controlled the section of the Maginot Line between the French border with Belgium and Maubeuge in the battle know as The Fall of France?
answer: Fortified Sector of Maubeuge
context: Title: Fortified Sector of Flanders
  Passage: The Fortified Sector of Flanders ("Secteur Fortifié des Flandres") was the French military organization that in 1940 controlled the section of the French border with Belgium between Lille and the North Sea.  The sector was part of a system of fortifications that, in other sectors, included the Maginot Line.  In the case of the Flanders sector, no large fortifications of the kind typified by the Maginot Line were built in the area.  Fortifications were confined to almost two hundred blockhouses built during the 1930s, and some defensive inundations in the vicinity of Dunkirk.  The Fortified Sector of Flanders was bordered on the east by the Fortified Sector of Lille It was quickly overrun by German forces during the Battle of France.
  Title: Fortified Sector of Maubeuge
  Passage: The Fortified Sector of Maubeuge ("Secteur Fortifié de Maubeuge") was the French military organization that in 1940 controlled the section of the Maginot Line between the French border with Belgium and Maubeuge, a distance of about 70 km .  The sector was not as strongly defended as other sections of the Maginot Line Large portions of the Maubeuge sector were defended by blockhouses or casemates.  The sector includes only four "ouvrages" of the type found in stronger sections of the Line, arranged in an arc to the north and east of the fortified city of Maubeuge, incorporating defenses from the First World War.  The Maubeuge sector and the Fortified Sector of the Escaut were the final sections of the Maginot line to be authorized, and were termed the "New Fronts."  In the Battle of France the large fortifications of Maubeuge successfully resisted determined German bombardments and infantry attacks, despite their failure to protect Maubeuge against the Germans, who had outflanked the defensive line and who assaulted the fortification lines from the rear.  Surrender or evacuation came only after the positions were surrounded and cut off from any hope of reinforcement.  One "ouvrage" and one pre-Maginot fortification have been preserved.
  Title: Fortified Sector of the Sarre
  Passage: The Fortified Sector of the Sarre ("Secteur Fortifié de la Sarre") was the French military organization that in 1940 controlled the section of the Maginot Line on either side of the Sarre river.  The sector's defenses relied primarily on a system of inundations that could be created by fortified dikes and regulating weirs, backed by blockhouses.  Weakly defended compared with other sections of the Maginot Line, the sector received a measure of attention and funding from the mid-1930s when the formerly demilitarized Saarland was reintegrated into Germany.  However, with a single "petit ouvrage" it remained a weak point in the Line.  In 1940 the Sarre sector was attacked by German forces in the Battle of France.  The inundations were only partly successful, and German forces were able to pierce the Maginot Line at the Sarre, allowing German divisions to move behind the main French line.
  Title: Fortified Sector of Montmédy
  Passage: The Fortified Sector of Montmédy ("Secteur Fortifié de Montmédy") was the French military organization that in 1940 controlled the section of the Maginot Line between Sedan and Longuyon, a distance of about 60 km .  The sector was not as strongly defended as other sections of the Maginot Line, facing the southern Ardennes region of Belgium.  Large portions of the Montmédy sector were defended by fortified houses, blockhouses, or casemates.  The sector includes only four "ouvrages" of the type found in stronger sections of the Line.  The weakly defended area in front of Sedan was the scene of a major breakthrough by German forces in the opening of the Battle of France.  This was followed by a German assault on the Maginot Ouvrage La Ferté, which killed the entire garrison, the only such event on the Maginot Line.
  Title: Battle of France
