    The western wall, also called the Siegfried Line by the Western Allies (English Siegfried Line, French Ligne Siegfried), was a military defense system distributed over approximately 630 km along the western border of the German Empire, which consisted of over 18,000 bunkers, tunnels and countless trenches and tank blocks , It ran from Kleve on the Dutch border southwards to Grenzach-Wyhlen on the Swiss border.

    Hitler had the facility, which had military and propaganda value, planned from 1936 and built between 1938 and 1940. Shortly before, in the Rhineland occupation on March 7, 1936, contrary to the requirements of the Treaty of Versailles, he had the areas demilitarized by the Reich from the First World War occupied by Wehrmacht troops on both sides of the Rhine.
