This defensive line of forts, pillboxes, and underground control centers was called the Maginot Line, named for the French minister of defense. It was designed to repel frontal attacks as were common in World War I, but failed to anticipate the modern advances in mechanized and aerial warfare that would occur between World Wars. In any event, the Germans outflanked the Maginot Line by attacking through the weaker forts in Belgium, rendering the French fortifications nearly useless.
