Atlantic Wall

The Atlantic Wall was a coastal defense system built by Nazi Germany during World War II, stretching from Norway to France. Constructed between 1942 and 1944, it included fortifications, bunkers, and obstacles intended to prevent Allied invasion. The Germans feared attacks from the west and aimed to secure their territory against incoming forces. Despite its extensive defenses, the Allies successfully invaded on June 6, 1944, during D-Day, marking a significant turning point in the war. The Atlantic Wall symbolizes the challenges of military strategy and the limits of defensive preparations against determined offensive operations.
