In today's show we look at:
The creation and design of the Westwall (with reference to earlier builds and the Maginot Line).
German Westwall build programs and specific bunker features (including the main protagonists).
Specifics of the line around Aachen, specifically the double envelopment - to include bunker density, camouflage.
The period of neglect, 1940 to 1944 and the last-minute reconstitution.
