French to German translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - History / Kriegsgeschichte
French term or phrase: sauter
Gleicher Abschnitt wie eben, aber noch ein unverständlicher Ausdruck:

"Seul, un pigeon, le 4 septembre, informe de la situation : les forts des Sarts, de Boussois, de Cerfontaine sont écrasés par l’artillerie allemande. ****L’arsenal a sauté. ****"

Ich hatte es zunächst so interpretiert, dass das Waffenlager vergessen/ausgelassen wurde, vgl. "un mot a sauté". Oder bedeutet es, dass es gesprengt wurde?
