The Atlantic Wall

By Linda Tancs

The Atlantic Wall was a system of fortifications built by the Germans during World War II, running along the Atlantic coast from northern Norway to southern France. In Ouistreham, Normandy, a museum established inside a former Atlantic Wall firing command post is dedicated entirely to the Atlantic Wall. Known as The Grand Bunker Atlantic Wall Museum, the five-story facility has reconstructed the command bunker down to the smallest detail, including engine rooms, an infirmary, armory, a radio transmission room and an observation post. The area is well posted both in English and in French.
