Hi everybody, welcome to Dan Snow's History Hit. We're talking about Hitler's Atlantic

Wall on this episode, one of the biggest construction projects in history, a line of concrete

and steel stretching from the Spanish border, from the Pyrenees mountains to the Norwegian

we've extended now to cover military history, 18th century to the present day, and he made

a documentary about a remarkable stretch of the Atlantic Wall, which he can find in Denmark,

which has survived and is a great place to learn more about that fortification. He and

my chat in about the Atlantic Wall, his experience making this documentary, the history at TV.

If you want to watch that documentary, you head over to history hit.tv for a small subscription.

You can go and check out that documentary and many, many others. We've got our women

of World War II documentary doing very well at the moment. We interviewed a series of women

all in their late 90s about their wartime experiences serving in the armed forces in the

UK, SOE, signals, interception, glitchly park, and also the women's role-nabel service.

So please head over there and do that history hit.tv, the perfect gift on at least a weekend

for someone you love.

In the meantime, here's James Rogers talking about the Atlantic Wall. Enjoy.
