During the Second World War, the German occupiers built a coastal
defence line along the Dutch, Belgian and French seaboards. The
Atlantic Wall was designed to protect the Reich against an Allied
invasion. Yet the coastal population suddenly found itself living
in a Sperrgebiet of immense strategic importance, as a result of
which the dunes and the beaches became no-go zones. Despite the
countless restrictions, the rationing and curfews, blackouts, air
raids, conscriptions and evacuations, the residents of the coast
tried to continue life as normal. The result of a prestigious
two-year European research project, Occupied Coast chronicles life
behind the Atlantic Wall, from the outbreak of war in 1940 until
D-Day. Drawing on over one hundred Belgian, French, Dutch, British
and German testimonies, four historians describe the wartime
experiences of the coastal population and the impact of the
Atlantic Wall upon daily life.
