The Belgians reckoned that the line was at the time an essential communication route for the eastern territory given them by the Treaty, inasmuch as it linked the ceded districts from north to south, and they argued that the line was therefore Belgian property.

Just a couple of miles from the Belgian border, south of Aachen, the town of Monschau sits in a deep, narrow valley.
