THE ATLANTIC WALL HISTORY AND GUIDE

by J. E. and H. W. Kaufmann

Hitler's Atlantic Wall, the complex system of coastal fortifications that stretched from Norway to the Spanish border during the Second World War, was built to defend occupied Europe from Allied invasion. Many of its principal structures survive and this book is an authoritative guide to them. The wall also included the concrete U-boat and E-boat pens in the key ports, and the Channel coast V-weapon sites. Co-authored by A. Jankovic-Potocnik and Vladamir Tonic, this book will be essential reading and reference for any one who is interested in the history of fortifications and the liberation of occupied Europe.
