The Maginot Line: History and Guide
J. E. Kaufmann, H. W. Kaufmann, Aleksander Potocnik, Patrice Lange
The Maginot Line, the complex system of strongpoints constructed
between the world wars by the French to protect against attack from
Germany, is one of the most famous, extensive and controversial
defensive schemes in all military history. It stretched from Belgium to
Switzerland, and from Switzerland to the Mediterranean, and it
represented the most advanced and ambitious system of static defenses of
its time. Yet it failed to deter German aggression or to halt the
invasion of France in May 1940.
Much of this historic line - with
its fortresses, artillery positions, tank traps, blockhouses, concrete
bunkers - has survived and can be visited today. This invaluable
handbook, which has been written and compiled by the foremost experts in
the field, is a guide to the history of the line and all the major
sites concerned.
