Germans Built the Atlantic Wall — Until American Engineers Blew Doors Through It

Описание: Germans Built the Atlantic Wall — Until American Engineers Blew Doors Through It
They promised Europe an unbreachable wall. We brought engineers, bangalores, dozers, and Bailey bridges—and turned concrete into doors.
This cinematic, source-driven WWII story takes you from the surf at Omaha & Utah to the hedgerows, the Siegfried Line, and the Rhine—showing how American Navy CDUs, Seabees, and Army combat engineers made the ground cooperate under fire.

What you’ll see inside

Atlantic Wall obstacle garden: hedgehogs, Belgian gates, mined ramps—and how Gap Assault Teams blew lanes (GAP 8 FT)

Destroyers firing point-blank while engineers mark, tape, and move the beach forward

Mulberry harbor vs. the June storm: why throughput beats infrastructure

Bocage problem → Rhino hedgerow cutters on Shermans (Culin mod)

Bridges on demand: Bailey & treadway spans built overnight; storm boats & assault crossings

Westwall/Siegfried Line: dragon’s teeth humbled by pole & satchel charges

Remagen: keeping Ludendorff standing long enough to unzip the Rhine

Why this matters
D-Day didn’t succeed by heroism alone. It succeeded because engineers turned a killing beach into a traffic plan, rivers into schedules, and walls into a network of doors.
