The Atlantic Wall is perhaps the most famous World War II-era fortification line in Europe, but in fact Germany built other fortified defensive lines throughout the entire war--from the coastal defenses along the English Channel to the famous West Wall and the hurriedly constructed East Wall. As a result, forts, bunkers, and defensive lines are found--many half-built due to Hitler's vacillating enthusiasm for defense--throughout the territory once occupied by Hitler's forces. Fortress Third Reich is the first and only comprehensive treatment of Germany's World War II fortifications. The authors also treat Germany's other important defensive systems, such as its fearsome air defense, and their text is supplemented by scores of remarkable technical drawings by Robert M. Jurga.

Review:
"A solid resource...A war history buff will be pleased if he gets it as a present." -- The Wargamer March 2004

"Superb technical illustrations...Should be considered the standard English-language work in the field." -- Choice February 2004

"The first and only comprehensive account of Germany's WWII defense systems...A fascinating study that deserves a large audience." -- Military Heritage February 2004

"The first and only comprehensive account of Germany's World War II defense systems. Profusely illustrated...A fascinating study." -- Military Heritage February 2004

"This book is a worthy addition to any military history library." --Journal of Military History 01/01/04

"'The book for the first time, brings together useful and new information on World War II fortifications throughout Europe. The information provided on the fortifications, auxiliary structures, weapons, and related equipment, with illustrations, is very valuable'. --Journal of Military History

Well researched and presented, very easy to get into. A good introduction to just how 'bonkers' (the sheer money and effort spent on these things defies belief) Europe had become in the first half of the last century. I used the book as one of my resources when visiting many of the continental fortifications , a couple of years back during a long trip, many of which are still intact, and not much consensus about what to do with much of it still prevails - 'Educational Monument'? Tourist Atrraction? Knock down and build a Mall? If your interested in Miltary History this book is a fine resource. --By Barry Wom
