	Hindenburg Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The decision to build the line was made by Generals Paul von Hindenburg and Erich von Ludendorff during the final stages of the First Battle of the Somme.
		The Hindenburg Line was built across a salient in the German front, so that by withdrawing to these fortifications the German army was actually shortening their front.
		The withdrawal to the line was begun in February 1917, and the territory between the old front and the new line was left devastated as the German army employed the scorched earth tactic.

	Maginot Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Maginot Line (IPA: [maʒi'no], named after French minister of defense André Maginot) was a line of concrete fortifications, tank obstacles, machine gun posts and other defenses which France constructed along its borders with Germany and with Italy in the wake of World War I.
		When the Allied forces invaded in June 1944 the Line, now held by German defenders, was again largely bypassed, with fighting only touching a part of the fortifications near Metz and in northern Alsace towards the end of 1944.
		With the rise of the French independent nuclear deterrent by 1969 the Line was largely given up by the government, with sections auctioned off to the public and the rest of it left to decay.

		The Siegfried Line in the sector before the 63rd Division consisted of two belts about a mile apart, each composed of a line of dragon's teeth (tank obstacles) which were three staggered rows of concrete pyramids about three feet high.
		Before the line of dragon's teeth were one or two antitank ditches, each eight feet deep and twelve feet wide.
		This formidable line was breached by the division on 20 March 1945 and it was the first unit of the 7th Army to break a path through the Siegfried Line, thus opening up Germany to American Armored units.

	Combat History of the 8th ID in WW2: Chapter 4
		Allied armies had breached the Siegfried Line, the vaunted German border defense, and along a continuous front from The Netherlands to Switzerland, American, British, French and Canadian forces were poised for the thrust into Germany to complete the destruction of the Nazi military machine.
		In the southern sector, which was approximately ten thousand yards wide, troops of the 5th Armored Division had previously penetrated the Siegfried Line, inflicting heavy losses on the Germans, and then withdrawing to a line generally along the southwest limitations of the enemy fortifications.
		The Siegfried Line remained intact across its entire front, and it was anticipated that it would remain quiet, with patrols of both sides operating rather freely in a "no man's land." A long north-south ridge, approximately in the center of the area commanded observation of the German lines and was the logical line of defense.
