The third book in Frédéric Lisch’s series on the components of the Maginot Line.

INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE FORTIFICATIONS provides a complete description of the equipment, fittings, and layout of the underground casemates and combat blocks. Together, these details explain how Europe’s most modern fortified system in 1940 could fight independently for three months. This formidable deterrent could hold out for at least a week, giving the high command time to send reinforcements. In June 1940, the system fully accomplished its defensive mission in the Alps, but in the northeast, the powerful line was outflanked to the north when Belgian neutrality was violated.

The gigantic undertaking that was the Maginot Line requires, in order to render a complete technical and historical account of it, a division into several volumes. Thus our Volume 1, which met with remarkable success upon its release, was devoted partly to the genesis of the Line and partly to the infantry regiments of the North-East fortress.
