Hitler, Rommel, Visit ‘Atlantic Wall’

Eleventh-hour inspection tours of the vast Axis coastal defenses known as Germany’s “Atlantic Wall” are being made by Marshal Rommel, according to news dispatches, which say that Hitler has made personal “pre-invasion visits.” Rommel is reported making day-by-day tours of areas shown on the above map, which provides a general picture of the coastal fortress. Broken line indicates territory referred to as “Rommel’s defense zone.” Swastikas indicate points which have been mentioned as “Rommel’s command forts,” and are reported to be specially fortified.
