How and by whom was the Atlantic Wall built, organised and defended? How did the coastal defences react to the Allied attacks on Dieppe and Saint-Nazaire in 1942? What role did Field Marshal Rommel play in reinforcing the Atlantic Wall? What strategies did the Allies use to break through the Atlantic Wall when they landed in June 1944? Why were some French harbour towns that had been turned into fortresses not captured by the Allies until May 1945? Illustrated with 200 b/w and colour photos, this volume provides answers to these and other questions about the French Atlantic Wall.
