The Maginot Line (Behemoth)

CatechiSips: Relics

The Maginot Line was France's reaction to Germany's build-up in the 1930s. They created a series of massive fortifications on their Eastern border. It worked because the Germans didn't come that way. Instead, they completely bypassed it and went through Belgium and the Ardennes. The French didn't consider modern military advances and thought the marshy woods of the Ardennes were impassable. It was one of the costliest errors in history. | History Collection
