Although Rob has an engineering background, this isn't just a story about concrete. We've all become deeply interested in the people behind the story of the Atlantic Wall, be they Nazi policy makers and leaders or the unfortunate souls forced to work on the wall when forced labour became the preferred method of getting it done. During our research Rob learned about a place in northern France where the footprints of Jewish workers and their Nazi masters are still visible, imprinted forever in the Chemin des Juifs (path of the Jews). They set out with a map and anecdotal evidence to find these footprints and you can see them here, in advance of the finished films. In one photo, the imprint of a bare foot is just visible. The other could be a clog or a jackboot - what do you think?
