Hindenburg Line Compared by Foe to Chinese Wall
German leaders compare the Hindenburg line to the Great Wall of China as an impregnable defense along a 60 mile sector across Picardy. The system stretches from Vimy Ridge to La Fere, with Wotan and Alberich branches, massive dugouts, catacombs, and underground tunnels near Bullecourt, Cambrai, and Laon, defended by fortifications, wire, and rail centers to support German troops.
