Siegfried Line, the : The German Defense of the West Wall, September-December 1944 Paperback / softback
by Samuel W. Mitcham Jr.
Part of the Stackpole Military History Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
The battles for the Germans' last line of defence in World War II, including Arnhem, Aachen, the Huertgen Forest, and Metz.
Built as a series of forts, bunkers, and tank traps, the West Wall - known as the Siegfried Line to the Allies - stretched along Germany's western border.
After D-Day in June 1944, as the Allies raced across France and threatened to pierce into the Reich, the Germans fell back on the West Wall.
In desperate fighting - among the war's worst - the Germans held off the Allies for several months.
