It all started with museumPASSmusées, adding Atlantikwall Raversyde to its list. As a holder of Museumpassmusees,
I was looking at its website to see what they're all about to plan my visit
there.
WHAT IS THE ATLANTIC WALL (ATLANTIKWALL)?
To begin with, why that strange spelling? Well, Atlantikwall is the German
spelling of Atlantic Wall. The Atlantikwall was an ambitious project of the
Axis parties (led by Germany) during WWII. The idea was to build an extensive
wall from the north of Norway to the south of France along the seashore. This
wall would be guarded to observe the movement of ships & submarines in the
sea! It was an ambitious project and was never fully completed.
