About
In largely intact condition, this is the only significant part of Nazi Germany's formidable defensive line through Northern Italy.
Between 1943 and 1944, the German forces in Italy, under Field Marshal Kesselring, used forced labor to construct a defensive line of concrete bunkers, anti-tank ditches, air defense installations, over 2,000 machine gun nests, and other fortifications in a 10-mile-deep corridor that stretched across virtually the entire width of Italy.
