The Story Unfolds
Rob Bell says: “The fascination of this defensive line for me lies in its structural engineering, in the strategic role many positions played in relation to Hitler’s plans and fears, and in the individuals tasked with its creation. And whilst ultimately, historians will look back on it as a failure, I feel that these enduring great lumps of concrete tell more intimate tales about WW2 than might initially feel possible”.
