> Germany should invade. The Maginot Line won’t slow them down at all. <

Interestingly enough, one Maginot Line fortress is still active. It’s Ouvrage Hochwald. Considering the pitiful state of today’s German army, Ouvrage Hochwald alone might be enough to turn back an invasion.

Perhaps the solution is for Switzerland to invade and take over both France and Germany.

However, what would Switzerland do with them???

Nope - According to my hubby (Fortress enthusiast/archeologist and author)Ouvrage Hochwald has been abandoned, since the French AF radar station closed down & moved out a few years ago.

May be a couple small casemates in use by the Army, maybe for training?
