Part of the Atlantic Wall - North Jutland Denmark
On 23 March 1942 the Nazi leader of Germany Adolf Hitler issued Führer Directive No. 40, which ordered the creation of the “Atlantikwall”, a series of fortifications spanning from Norway, along the Belgium and French coastline to the French-Spanish border.
The purpose of the “Atlantic Wall”, which covered a distance of 2,700 kilometres, was to strengthen the defensive positions in “Fortress Europe”, as mainland Europe was called by the Nazis, from a possible Allied offensive.
