The German Line was a 101 kilometre long route between Wesel (D) and Boxtel. It existed from 1878-1945. Mail, goods and also people were transported along this route.

With a ruse, the bridge at Gennep over the Maas fell into German hands on 10 May 1940. The Maas Line was immediately breached. Commandos, disguised as Dutch military police, captured the bridge without a fight.

After that, an armoured train and a train with troops were able to drive over the German Line past the Peel-Raamstelling and attack from the undefended side. The barrier that had been set up had not yet been closed. Germany had only just invaded our country and they were not yet aware of this at the position. The Peel-Raamstelling was in fact rolled up and the troops were withdrawn to defend ‘Holland’.
