Do you mean the Germans attacking it? They didn't! They drove around it, and dropped Airborne troops behind it. I believe, that's what I can recall right now. Could be wrong about some of that.

Kiltman, I think you're thinking of the Maginot line, which the French built and Germans skirted, not the Siegfried Line, which the Allies cracked by direct assault. Sorry about getting , but I wanted to jump on that ASAP so it wouldn't be a distraction.
As to the original question, I don't have anything handy but I'll keep looking and try to get back to you.
