Informations supplémentaires

Part of the Swiss ‘Maginot Line’, a 10km long defensive barrier made of 2, 700 concrete anti-tank blocks, constructed during the second World War between Bassins and Prangins, in the Canton of Vaud, Switzerland. Construction of this barrier started in the 1930s and, although the Nazis never invaded Switzerland, the Swiss were never 100% sure of their neigbours. By 1940 German troops had swept into neutral Belgium and neutral Norway and the Swiss felt they could be next. The object of these defences was not to be impregnable, but to slow the advance of any invading Nazi forces. The best the Swiss could hope for was to make the enemy pay dearly for any victory
