The Atlantic Wall was a system of fortifications built by Nazi Germany which extended along the Atlantic coast of Western Europe, from Norway to the Spanish border. Not a wall in the true sense of the word, the Atlantic Wall was rather a series of German batteries built at strategic locations which were intended to thwart any potential amphibious invasions by destroying them while still at sea and to allow Germany to defend the coast of Europe with as few men as possible. The German fortifications at Longues-sur-Mer are a classic example of the pattern that was used for the Atlantic Wall. [1]

Although the Atlantic Wall was a noncontinuous defensive fortification, anybody know how long it would of been?

[edit] Failure

Despite the construction of the Atlantic Wall, Nazi Germany still failed to prevent D-Day, remain in control over their territory, and win the World War II. Did the British also built fortifications along their coasts to stop Germany invading them? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The Anonymous One (talk • contribs) 04:07, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
