The Maginot Line (in use from 1932 to 1969) was a barrier in northern France, that was built to hold off (mainly) the German Army in case of attack. (EVERY country feared the German Army) It basically surrounded France from the rest of Europe - but had MANY, MANY faults. For starters - the Lufuwaffe simply flew over it!!! And the supply line was so poor - many of the installations simply ran out of ammunition!!! Although the fortifications of the Maginot line were based on very outdated World War I fortifications - some did hold the attacking German Army - but only for a few days.
