Tiny Village Invasion Centre Built By Germany
A French village near Vregny was prepared as a major invasion hub for Britain, with a vast 35 by 45 mile fortified zone built for Himmler’s forces. The site was abandoned as Allied troops advanced, leaving chateaux, air raid shelters, and camouflaged gun positions. Major John Steiner uses the quarters while GIs enjoy four swimming pools. Barracks, pillboxes, fox holes, and gun positions are camouflaged with plastic leaves and newspaper art.
