Currently the 'Cover-up' Campaign is attracting a lot of interest. Primarily because it deals with the use of military fortifications within dioramas. This new book by Osprey, concentrates on one of the most interesting themes of military archaeology, Germany's West Wall..

Osprey's Fortress series has covered some of the most notable defensive structures constructed throughout history. This title, (number 15 in the Fortress series) concentrates on Germany's last barrier-the Siegfried line.



In 64 pages, Neil Short traces the history of the West Wall from its origins in 1936 until the final onslaught on Germany in 1945. Included amongst the 11 chapters are sections on design and development (the most useful for diorama builders), The operational history of the Siegfried Line. A bibliography and glossary are also included. Perhaps more a book for the student of history than the modeller, but a fascinating subject never the less.
