Experience the Legacy of the Atlantic Wall

  The Atlantic Wall is a monumental engineering achievement that was built during World War II by Nazi Germany to deter an Allied invasion. The complex consisted of bunkers, gun emplacements, and other defensive structures, stretching for thousands of miles along the coast of Western Europe. The construction of the Atlantic Wall was a massive undertaking, with tens of thousands of workers and soldiers involved in its creation. The purpose of the Atlantic Wall was to create a formidable defense against the Allied forces, who were expected to launch an amphibious invasion of Europe at some point during the war. The wall was designed to slow down and weaken the enemy's advance, allowing the German military to mount a counterattack. The construction of the Atlantic Wall began in 1942 and continued until the end of the war in 1945. The wall was constructed using a variety of materials, including concrete, steel, and wood. Many of the bunkers and other structures were built underground,
