	Saving Private Ryan: Atlantic Wall
		Construction on the defenses, dubbed the "Atlantic Wall," began in March of 1942 and consisted of a variety of walls, bunkers, minefields, barbed wire fences, trenches, observation posts, artillery positions, beach obstacles, and other defensive constructions.
		Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was appointed as commander of Army Group B in 1943, and set about to reinforce the Atlantic Wall in accordance with the German doctrine that called for the immediate and absolute defeat of any Allied landings.
		German propaganda had succeeded in convincing many that the Atlantic Wall was impenetrable, but in fact it was highly vulnerable and proved as such during the Operation Overlord assault on June 6, 1944.

	The Atlantic Wall - German coastal defences in France 1940 - 1944
		This bulwark, which became famous as the "Atlantic Wall", should prevent an Allied invasion or, at least, delay it until the Germans could mobilize sufficient armored forces to defend the enemy.
		The British raid on the village of Dieppe on August 19, 1942 showed very clearly that the fortifications of the Atlantic Wall were absolutely inevitable to protect against the Second Front of the Allies.
		Due to their overall sea and air power the troops could break through the Atlantic Wall at four of the five landing sectors on the first day of the invasion.

	Atlantic Wall
		The Atlantic Wall was an extensive system of coastal fortifications built by the German Third Reich during the Second World War along the western coast of Europe (1942-44) in order to defend against an anticipated Anglo-American invasion of the continent from Great Britain.
		Early in 1944, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was assigned to improve the defenses of the Wall.
		The defensive wall was never completed; consisting primarily of batteries, bunkers, and minefields, which during 1942-1944 stretched from the French-Spanish border into Norway.

		The Atlantic Wall (German: Atlantikwall) was an extensive system of coastal fortifications built by the German Third Reich in 1942 until 1944 during World War II along the western coast of Europe in order to defend against an anticipated Anglo-American led Allied invasion of the continent from Great Britain.

		Nevertheless, we should have in mind that for instance the guns along the Atlantic Wall do have a past as utensils for the greedy strife for power of the Reich, and that lots of prisoners of war have lost their lives during the building process.
		Assisted by the spoken word, also the Atlantic Wall represents a mighty source to recognition of the destructive powers involved, and should in my opinion be a suitable part of imparting strategies where survivors tell their stories within the framework of the monuments.
		In the brief description of the Atlantic Wall project, I noticed for instance that these objects are appreciated for «their ability […] to define a new aesthetic canon for modernity», which I honestly think would surprise their creators.

	The Atlantic wall
		This gigantic project, entrusted to the Todt Organization, was begun in 1942 but had still not been completed by 1944, despite the efforts of Field-Marshal Rommel, who had been made responsible for the entire sector between the Netherlands and the Loire at the end of 1943.
		This required the labour of 450,000 workers (both voluntary and impressed) and the use of 11 million tonnes of concrete and 1 million tonnes of steel for the reinforcing rods.
		It could basically be said to be composed of four types of structure: the fortresses, the coastal batteries, the close beach defences and the obstacles erected either on the beaches themselves or inland.

		The Atlantic wall was only part of a huge system of German fortifications that included the Siegfried line, submarine pens and huge flak towers that threatened the surrounding land like lines of Teutonic knights.
		Almost all had survived the war and seemed to be waiting for the next one, left behind by a race of warrior scientists obsessed with geometry and death.
		Its slow death can be seen, not only in the Siegfried line and the Atlantic wall, but in the styling of Mercedes cars, at once paranoid and aggressive, like medieval German armour.

	The Atlantic Wall
		Much of the Atlantic Wall remains today along the shores of France as it did in the war.
		To build this "wall," the Germans employed Fritz Todt, the engineer who had designed the West Wall along the France-German border, and thousands of impressed labourers to construct permanent fortifications along the Belgian and French coasts facing the English Channel.
		In likely landing spots for gliders and parachutists, the Germans emplaced slanted poles, which the troops called Rommelspargel ("Rommel's asparagus"), and low-lying river and estuarine areas were permanently flooded.

		The Desert Fox, soon after beginning his tour, began to see past the façade of the Atlantic Wall, and recognized the need for sweeping changes.
		The idea of constructing defenses adequate to protect some 2500 miles of Atlantic and Mediterranean coast was unrealistic; Germany simply lacked the manpower to achieve this monumental feat.
		Throughout all Hitler’s Directives and orders given to Rommel and those in the West, it is interesting to note that never once did the Fuhrer actually see his Atlantic Wall for himself; he had not, in fact, been to France since 1940.
