The Atlantic Wall Was Finished Everywhere Except Where They Landed | WW2 Sleep Documentary
Along the coast of occupied Europe, Germany built an enormous system of bunkers, gun positions, obstacles, minefields, and defensive strongpoints designed to make an Allied invasion almost impossible.
It became known as the **Atlantic Wall**.
But when the Allied invasion came in June 1944, the defenses were far from uniform. Some positions were heavily fortified. Others were incomplete, poorly manned, or still under construction.
Tonight, explore the reality behind Germany’s coastal defenses and discover why the Atlantic Wall looked far more formidable on maps than it was in many places along the Normandy coast.
Follow the construction of the defensive system, the German command structure, Rommel’s preparations, Allied deception and reconnaissance, and the frantic hours when the invasion finally arrived.
