The Germans built a defensive line along the French coast facing Britain to defend against the looming invasion. The invasion successfully took place in July 1944 overpowering a week spot in the Atlantic wall/defensive line in Normandie.
During World War II, the "Atlantic Wall", the name given to the coastline of Western Europe being defended by German (and their allied) troops, stretched from the far southwestern corner of France to the northwestern corner of Germany itself and then northwards along the Norwegian coast. Although portions of this coastal defense line were only weakly defended, its overall length stretched to over 3,000 miles in total.
