Atlantikwall 1942–44 Bollwerk des Reiches. Zeitgeschichte in Farbe. Band I: Französische Atlantikküste
After the victory in the West over France in 1940 and the preemptive strike against Stalin's attacking Red Army in 1941, the mass of the German Wehrmacht was in a tough battle in the vastness of Russia. In order to counter the danger of an Allied invasion in the west, the Todt organization started building a massive bulwark by the sea, from the Spanish border to the coasts of Norway. To protect the empire, deeply staggered defensive positions were created over the years, huge bunker works to cover long-range and heavy guns, radio measuring systems for detecting enemy bomber flows, submarine bunkers, anti-aircraft positions and much more. This sensational book shows never before published contemporary color photos in razor-sharp quality of buildings in France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark and Norway, which not only present all details of this defensive position in Europe, but also an insight into the everyday life of the ordinary countryman during his watch deliver on the Atlantic. You can see numerous military and politicians visiting individual factories, such as Armaments Minister Albert Speer or SS Obergruppenführer Sepp Dietrich. The development and construction history is presented in a detailed text, as is the defense of the defense systems in combat.
