The German Fortress of Metz 1870–1944 PDF
by Clayton Donnell
Illustrated by Brian Delf
Part of the Fortress series
Description
Following the defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 71, the German Army began to construct a fortress line from Strasbourg to Luxembourg to protect their new territory, the centrepiece of which was the great Moselstellung (Moselle Position) of Metz / Thionville.
Illustrated with rare photographs and full-colour cutaway artwork, this book examines the design and development of the fortress and analyses its use in combat, focusing particularly on the part it played in holding up General Patton's Third Army's advance across France in 1944.
