Auction flops as Maginot Line goes unsold in France
France fails to sell the Maginot Line at auction despite 300 miles of bunkers and tunnels. Only one bid, starting at 1700 dollars, came from M Geoffroy who plans a weekend chalet beside the relic. The line, built 1936 at massive cost, remains a costly symbol of folly from the 1940 defeat.
