Short, Neil Germany's West Wall the Siegfried Line (Fortress 15)
Botley Osprey Publishing 2004 184176678X / 9781841766782 Softcover Fine
64 pages, well illustrated (some in color) , pictorial wrappers, 7 by 10 inches, fine. Illustrated by Chris Taylor. From the publisher: "The West Wall (or the Siegfried Line as the Allies called it) played a crucial role in the bitter fighting of 1944 and 1945 in North-West Europe. Constructed in the period immediately after the remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936, the Wall stretched for 300 miles from Cleve in the north to the Swiss Border and consisted of some 14,000 pillboxes. The Wall initially blunted the US attack, and Hitler used it as a foundation from which to launch the Ardennes Offensive. This title takes a detailed look at the development and form of this key fortification, examining the principles of its defense in visual depth, and discussing its fate in the wake of the Allied onslaught.
