Polish fortifications

Polish fortifications historically included a variety of defensive structures, such as thick walls, fortified towns, and strategic border defenses, designed to protect against invasions. Notable examples include the 19th-century fortresses along the borders and the extensive bunkers and barriers built during World War II. These structures often combined artillery emplacements, trenches, and concrete bunkers to delay or repel attacking forces. Their purpose was to buy time, defend key locations, and strengthen military resilience, reflecting Poland's strategic focus on securing its territory from various threats over different periods.
