Verdun was not exposed, but the plan was to have enemy forces surround the area. That is classic European Castle design. The town is in a save valley protected by hill top military installations.
The Germans tried to force a Deciding Battle, the main battle of the war to then capture and extort all of France this time using trucks.
"All they have to do is to capture the hills" is the most stupid military statement ever, because these places were build to prevent that. Taking them is the main deciding task. Failing is loosing.
So, why would you order you men out of these castles to attack??
Would you lie about what happened to you so your people will try again, eventually??
What you think.
What would you need 500 men for having rails, cranes and lifts for to feed the guns? It had quarters to move troops. They were not part of the defense. These troops would eventually in flank attacks take out occupying positions. Germans always used storm and direct attacks no matter which name and uniforms they used.
Either France was taken by the same drugged, inhumane humans as the Germans had as leaders or this is blunt lies to hide German defeat teaching their strategies wrong published by printing more paper and creating more websites than the others.
Imagine a mechanized fortress system that fires at hords attacking through woods and fields without mercy or any end and Generals that came sure of an easy victory being superior humans and by birthright righteous leaders claiming what others had build for their them being humans without rights.
Again.

PS:
The Swedish capture of Würzburg in October 1631 was a swift operation that saw the city surrender to avoid destruction, followed by a violent storming of the fortress.
Entry into the Town
The town itself was entered without a fight on October 14, 1631.
The Ultimatum: As King Gustavus Adolphus approached, he issued an ultimatum to the city council.
Tore der Stadt (City Gates): Defying the instructions of the Prince-Bishop's government, the mayor and council opened the gates to prevent the town from being burned or plundered.
Crossing the Main: Defenders had broken the wooden sections of the Alte Mainbrücke (Old Main Bridge) to slow the advance. On October 16, the Swedes used captured boats to cross the river and occupy the "Mainviertel" district at the foot of the fortress hill.
The Breach of the Fortress
The Marienberg Fortress was taken on October 18, 1631, after the Swedes advanced from the northwest and west.
Target Site: The primary attack was directed at the Echtervorwerk (the Echter outwork), which faced away from the river and town.
The Bridge Incident: During the dawn assault, the Swedes reached the Echtertor (Echter Gate). Legend and historical records suggest the defenders were unable to raise the drawbridge because it was so heavily piled with the bodies of fallen soldiers, allowing the Swedes to rush across.
Final Breach: After blowing up the Echtertor, the Swedes used captured field guns left
n the outer courtyard to blast open the inner Scherenbergtor (Scherenberg Gate), effectively ending the defense.
Aftermath and Modernization🚩 The fall of the fortress—which was considered "impenetrable" at the time—was a massive blow. The Swedish occupation lasted until 1635.
When the Prince-Bishops eventually returned, they immediately began constructing a "wreath" of massive Baroque bastions and the Maschikuli Tower to ensure the fortress would never again be vulnerable to such a direct storming
.If you tell me which part of the fortress history you're most interested in, I can find more about:
The plunder of the library and where those books are today (Uppsala).
The specific architectural changes made after the Swedish occupation to prevent another breach.
The role of the fortress in the 1945 battle for Würzburg.
Every single time. ...And they were Lord-Bishops. Voted both spiritual and military leaders since three Irish Monks helped to defeat you first time bringing the first unified version of the Holy Bible known as the Book of Kells today stored in a building as save and sound as for the Constitution of the United States of America. Since than the town was of Knights. One against Thousands, if necessary.
