Atlantikwall.
After capturing many territories, the Supreme Command decided to create a -
the largest coastal fortification ever created in history. The system included coastal and railway guns, concrete structures underground and on the surface, all kinds of anti-landing elements and much more. The order to begin the project was given by Hitler in March 1942, as part of the construction it was planned to build 15 thousand defensive structures, and the garrison should be up to 300 thousand soldiers including the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. Since none of the higher leadership could predict from which place the enemy offensive would begin, the fortifications had to cover the entire Atlantic coast. The work was to be completed by May 1943. The defense line was to occupy an area of 5,000 kilometers, the forces of the "Todt Corporation" were involved in the construction of the "Atlantic Wall", as well as with the use of several hundred thousand workers from occupied countries. In its design, the "Atlantic Wall" was a 3-level system of various fortifications covering the entire Atlantic coast. Such cities as Antwerp, Cherbourg and Brest were considered as the main fortresses. Secondary areas were defended by additional forts, which were completely autonomous structures. As for the third level of defense, it contained all sorts of nests of resistance - a network of bunkers with medium-caliber weapons. Pillboxes and bunkers of the fortification were equipped with a variety of systems and calibers, which were collected not only from Germany but also from various European countries. Also by the summer of 1944, along the Atlantic Wall, German troops completely mined it along the perimeter, laying over 5 million mines. The entire gigantic system of defensive structures was under the command of Field Marshal von Rundstedt.
