The German Atlantikwall, one of the last major defense lines of this century. It was built by the German occupation forces in the period 1941-1944 along the coasts of France, Channel Islands, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Norway and Denmark. The main goal was to prevent allied landings on the shores of these countries.
During this period a total of 14.000 heavy, concrete bunkers were built. An amount that is impressive by the quantity, cost and involved labor.
