    A common misconception is that the german “Atlantikwall” translates to “Atlantic wall”. But that is not the case.
    A german “Wall” is rather a lose, strategicly placed “rampart”, so the terminology in german is pretty accurate.
    It was rather never intended to be a wall

    • @laars2233

    The earliest reference to the Mongols classifies them as a Tang dynasty tribe of Shiwei during the eighth century. It was only after the fall of the Liao dynasty in 1125 that they became an important tribe on the Central Asian steppe, but tribal wars weakened their power over the ensuing century. During the thirteenth century, the term Mongol was used to refer to the Mongolic and Turkic tribes who fell under the control of Genghis Khan. The Mongols are primarily a shamanist society; their central deity is the sky god Tenger.

    In Croatia there is "The Walls of Ston", built in 14th century and is thought to be the longest preserved medieval stone fortification system in Europe, and one of the longest such walls in the world, the world’s second-longest preserved fortification system today. Build by city of Ragusa (Dubrovnik), "only" 5.5km (originally 7km) long, but well preserved, you can walk the whole length of it.

    there is also Kelasuri wall in Abkhazia, Georgia.
    wall is built in 15-16 centuries by prince of one of western georgian principalities to defend from northern semi nomad Circassian raiders raiding Georgian lands.
    this wall is main proof of theory which says that modern abkhazians are ones who came after fall of united Georgia and assimilated local Georgians there. alongside with the fact that medieval abkhazian aristocracy had georgian dynastic names and spoke/wrote in georgian language.

They protected Istanbul (Constantinople) from even Attila the Hun, The Avars, Turkish (Pre-Ottomans) and The Arabs. The Ottomans took a long time, before the wall is breached.

    Another notable wall in history is the Hadrian's Wall in northern England, which was built by the Romans to mark the northern boundary of their empire and protect against invasions by tribes from Scotland. The wall stretched over 70 miles and was a testament to the Roman's military strategy and engineering capabilities.
    In medieval Europe, walls were commonly built around cities and towns to protect against enemy invasions and raiders. These walls were often constructed of stone and were fortified with towers, gates, and other defensive structures.
    Walls have also been used for political purposes, such as the Berlin Wall which was erected by the Soviet Union in 1961 to separate East and West Berlin. The wall became a symbol of the Cold War and the division between capitalist and communist ideologies.
    In recent years, walls have become a controversial topic, with some arguing for their use as a means of border control and others opposing them on humanitarian and practical grounds. The history of walls is a complex one, reflecting the changing needs and priorities of societies throughout history.

    In addition to the Atlantic Wall, Nazi Germany also designated the Westwall (aka Siegfried line) and the Ostwall (aka Panther-Wotan line). The former was built in the 1930s, and slowed the allies down somewhat in 1944. The latter was only devised as an emergency strategy in 1943, and was mostly overcome by the Red Army on the move.

      I know that, but Churchill did mention the Iron curtain for the first time in 1946 and this was the situation at that time. In the video we can see the date, we are before 1955 and Austria was then still occupied.
