No ownership marks. 160 pages clean and tight. In Fortress Europe: Hitler's Atlantic Wall military historian Lt.-Col. George Forty provides a detailed account of the construction, manning and defence of the Atlantic Wall in that crucial period before and during the Allied invasion in June 1944. Drawing upon archives both in Britain and in Germany, he provides a fascinating insight into the nature of the Atlantic Wall from the standpoint of those who built it and were tasked with manning it. Comprehensively illustrated throughout with a remarkable selection of contemporary photographs and line drawings, the book is one of the first to accord the Atlantic Wall the importance it merits. Alongside the historic analysis, the author has also included a detailed gazetteer outlining those areas where significant remains of the wall can still be seen today. All those interested in the history of World War 2, as well as those interested in visiting battlefields and other sites in northern and western France, will find Fortress Europe: Hitler's Atlantic Wall a significant new work of research on the subject. .
