France built the Maginot line on it's border with Germany. It's construction began in 1930, and ended in 1940. It was used from 1935 to 1969. In 1940, Germany invaded France and broke through a small portion of it between the towns of St. Avold and Saarbrucken. Allied forces retook it in 1944 after the liberation of Paris. After the war, the line was used until 1969. As of today, Ouvrage Hochwald is the only fort on the Maginot Line that is still used.
