New book by Ruud Pols & Leo de Vries: Seefront IJmuiden
During the Second World War the Germans built an extensive defense line formed by coastal batteries, AA positions, command centers and infantery positions in the coastal area of Festung IJmuiden. This so called Seefront IJmuiden between Heemskerk in the north and Bloemendaal in the south was part of the Atlantic Wall.
Illustrated with a wealth of photos and maps this book describes these German defensive works. Not only the past is covered by the book, but also the current situation of the still existing defensive works along the coast of IJmuiden
Language: Dutch - 160 pages, 115 photos, 95 drawings, 50 maps, 21 x 29.7 cm - hard cover - € 22,= (ex. postage & handling)
