The Siegfried Line was completed in a record time of around 15 months by 1939. It stretched in the north from Kleve on the Dutch border to Weil am Rhein on the border with Switzerland for a length of 630 kilometers.

The cusp lines of the Siegfried Line accompany the section for a long part of the way. Meanwhile overgrown with moss, but still very well preserved. A mute reminder of a bad time.
