Information Plate Socio-economic effects Westwall Dasburg

This information board on the Bunkerwanderweg ‘Dasberg von Grau zu Grün’ explains the socio-economic consequences of the construction of the Westwall or Siegfried Line on the Our River on the border of Germany and Luxembourg.

This German defence line that ran from the Dutch to the Swiss border was abandoned after the conquest of France in 1940 but was reinstated when the war chances turned. By now, the line no longer met the changed conditions and was then hastily modernised.

In February 1945, the area was captured by the Americans and after the war, most of the bunkers were blown up or rendered unusable.
