This book completes the story of one of the most formidable defensive lines in Europe in World War II; looking at the lesser known Mediterranean extension and describing how it was conceived of; built and used. After the alarming collapse of Italy in 1943; the Germans launched a crash building program and the Sudwall (South Wall) sprang up quickly along the French Mediterranean coast and the neighbouring Italian coast around Genoa. The new defenses were bolstered by existing French fortifications of key port towns such as Marseilles and Toulon – many of them bristling with heavy artillery. Whilst describing the walls physical design features; this book also recounts the defenses role in the Allied invasion of Southern France; Operation Dragoon – The Second D-Day. As the Germans worst fears became a reality; the southern Atlantic Wall would face its ultimate test.

8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Not what I expectedBy CustomerThis book isnt a biography. The chapters are broken down into sections and a lot of those sections contain contact info or web links. Also; the author is giving a review on Bob Ross and his life; not information. It often says things like "I think that" or "I liked that". Its also an un-official book and the author states multiple times that they are not connected to Bob Ross Inc. Dont recommend this book.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Happy painterBy maryI really enjoyed the book; just wish that there would have been more info on Bobs life. I am a certified Bob Ross instructor and I cannot believe how watching Bob on TV and learning to paint has totally changed my life.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
