The whole system ranges from 25 to 50 miles in depth, swarming with ft emplacements to drive off enemy bombers. Reich Rashes Construction. No French officials know whether the West Wall has been completed. Last year, during the crisis preceding Munich, Adolf Hitler revealed 500,000 men were working on it, night and day.

These were dipped in dye to make a soft cream color for the foundation part of the curtains. Wide stripes of gingham and narrow ones of prepared bias trimming were then stitched in place to make stripes.
