Quotes
"We could hardly dream of building a kind of Great Wall of France, which would in any case be far too costly. Instead we have foreseen powerful but flexible means of organizing defence, based on the dual principle of taking full advantage of the terrain and establishing a continuous line of fire everywhere" -Andre Maginot
