    ATLANTIC WALL
    The Atlantic Wall (German: Atlantikwall) was an extensive system of coastal defences and fortifications built by Nazi Germany between 1942 and 1944 along the coast of continental Europe and Scandinavia as a defence against an anticipated Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe from the United Kingdom, during World War II. The manning and operation of the Atlantic Wall was administratively overseen by the German Army, with some support from Luftwaffe ground forces. The Kriegsmarine (German Navy) maintained a separate coastal defence network, organised into a number of sea defence zones.
    Hitler ordered the construction of the fortifications in 1942 through his Führer Directive No. 40. More than half a million French workers were drafted to build it. The wall was frequently mentioned in Nazi propaganda, where its size and strength were usually exaggerated. The fortifications included colossal coastal guns, batteries, mortars, and artillery, and thousands of German troops were stationed in its defences. Today, ruins of the wall exist in all of the nations where it was built, although many structures have fallen into the ocean or have been demolished over the years.
    Prior to the Atlantic Wall decision, following a number of commando raids, on 2 June 1941 Adolf Hitler asked for maps of the Channel Islands. These were provided the next day and by 13 June 1941 Hitler had made a decision. Ordering additional men to the Islands and having decided the defences were inadequate, lacking tanks and coastal artillery, the Organisation Todt (OT) was instructed to undertake the building of 200-250 strong points in each of the larger islands. The plan was finalised by the OT and submitted to Hitler. The original defence order was reinforced with a second dated 20 October 1941, following a Fuhrer conference on 18 October to discuss the engineers' assessment of requirements. :197  The permanent fortification of the Channel Islands was to make them into an impregnable fortress to be completed within 14 months.: 448  Festungspionierkommandeur XIV was created to command the project of fortifying the Channel Islands.
    It was six months later on 23 March 1942 that Hitler issued Führer Directive No. 40, which called for the creation of an "Atlantic Wall". He ordered naval and submarine bases to be heavily defended. Fortifications remained concentrated around ports until late in 1943, when defences were increased in other areas. This decision required the army engineers and the OT to organise quickly. Massive supplies of cement, steel reinforcing and armour plate would be required and everything would need to be transported.
    Nazi propaganda claimed that the wall stretched from the cape of Norway down to the Spanish border.

    Some Excellent film footage of the Massive Construction that went into building the Atlantic Wall Bunkers and the Huge amounts of Steel and Concrete that were needed for them! ..As for the Guns ..The Residents of Dover and that part of the south Coast would be better placed to tell you about those!
    In the End Clip on the Heinkel Bomber Raid Was i mistaken in seeing what looked like a 20mm Orlikon Cannon sticking out of the front perspex Nose of the Lead Bomber!?? ( Didn't know that they carried those as routine Armament!( Thought they were usually 7.92 Machine Guns!)🤔..Cheers Frederick as usual you don't Disappoint!😆

      Just a quick thought. At time of this newsreel, high grade tungsten steel alloys were being severely controlled & rationed in Germany. How many of the new Tiger/Panther armored vehicles could have been manufactured for the eastern front using the material in just one of those huge, coastal artillery pieces?

    Amazing all the concrete and rebar to build those bunkers in a time frame of 12-18 months not only on the Atlantic but all over the cities and military bases of the Reich. Most are still intact and will be standing for centuries

    So...Australia got a mention! Doubt many Germans would have known much about that war.
    _PS: Wow! What a gun in the thumbnail & later. Almost useless ofc, but looks the biz!
    When I served⚓ the biggest gun I ever saw/fired was a 76mm autocannon. Mostly I got to fire the old [1950s] Bofors on our minesweeper lol. We had a bunch of old shells we needed to use, so we shot up a bunch of random stuff for a few weeks. Using manual sights, hitting stuff is bloody hard. Thanks from GC Australia F.
