German soldiers working on the Siegfried Line. The Siegfried Line was a German defensive line built during the 1930s opposite the French Maginot Line. It stretched more than 630 km from Kleve on the border with the Netherlands, along the western border of the old German Empire, to the town of Weil am Rhein on the border to Switzerland - and featured more than 18,000 bunkers, tunnels and tank traps. From September 1944 to March 1945 the Siegfried Line was subjected to a large-scale Allied offensive.
