The Maginot law — The vote of the fortified line’s funding, 1930
Carried by minister André Maginot, a Verdun veteran, the law funded the concrete wall of the north-eastern frontier — buried works, turrets, underground barracks. Secure along the German border; the Belgian border and the Ardennes stayed lightly defended — that is where, at Sedan, everything came through in 1940. (Editorial synthesis)
