Remarks

Western and Bulgarian sources listed carefully all the forts of Odrin, even when they had little or no combat value, the Turkish official history grouped the fortification of the fortress into 18 strongpoints, large groups of combat elements, including infantry positions, artillery emplacements and shelters, dispersed and conforming on the nature of the ground, like in the German Feste. Therefore there was often no direct correspondence between the different lists. In addition the available maps were sometimes incorrect, for instance the German map placed the fort of Kaik south of Kavkas Tabia on the same line of the other forts of the Eastern sector, even if it was behind Top Yolu, in second line. Also the order of the forts of the Eastern sector was a bit confused, since the Turkish map had Kestanelik directly after Yıldız and two forts between Kestanelik and Ayvaz Baba, while the western maps inserted a fort between Ildis Tabia and Kestenlik and another between Kestanelik and Aivas Baba. In North-western  Sector they identify Karagös Tabia with Šaitan Tarla that the Turks regarded as two different strongpoints.
