Castles at War - Pas-de-Calais 1939-1945

Language: French

Many castles in the French Pas-de-Calais-region were requisitioned by the German army, not only for housing high ranking officers, but also because they built launching sites for V-Weapons in the vast parcs around the castles. Sometimes headquarters were housed in them - barracks, bunkers and tunnels were constructed. This book shows all these castles, it leaves NO question unanswered. Illustrated with 1200+ photos and MANY drawings and plans (more than 200!) by Yannick Delefosse - what a FABULOUS book!
