"Dragons Teeth
on the Siegfried Line near Bitburg, Germany
(courtesy Rex Combs collection)
The Siegfried line (Siegfriedstellung) was a line
of forts and tank defenses built by Germany during World War I. The line
stretched almost 400 miles with more than 18,000 bunkers, tunnels and
tank traps. The tank traps, AKA "Dragons Teeth" photographed by
Captain Rex Combs show signs of age as the cement has broken in many
places and the steel reinforcement bars are exposed to the elements. |
