"Between 1940 and 1944 the Germans carried out what was probably the most impressive building programme since the time of the Romans as they constructed the 'Atlantic Wall' from Norway to the Spanish border. They produced an architecture of pure form developed from methods of standardisation on a previously unimaginable scale and all the more startling for its contrast with the blatant eclecticism of Fascist architecture in peacetime." - Introduction.
