Atlantic Wall
In the dunes between Katwijk and Wassenaar you can see the remains of a battery that was part of the Atlantic Wall. In August 1942, the Germans began building the defensive line to repel the expected Allied invasion. A contiguous line along the coast of Western Europe of 5,000 kilometers. This consisted of bunkers, artillery positions, ammunition storage areas and residence areas for the men, with minefields, anti-tank walls and barbed wire between them.
The bunkers now serve as a bat reserve and therefore have a protected status. The anti-tank wall is free to visit and walk.
The Atlantic Wall (German: Atlantikwall) was an extensive system of coastal defences and fortifications built by Nazi Germany between 1942 and 1944, along the coast of continental Europe and Scandinavia as a defence against an anticipated Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe from the United Kingdom during World War II. The manning and operation of the Atlantic Wall was administratively overseen by the German Army, with some support from Luftwaffe ground forces. The Kriegsmarine (German Navy) maintained a separate coastal defence network, organised into a number of sea defence zones.
