Commemorative Ring in Honor of the Battles on the Westwall (Siegfried Line) Against the Allied forces
The Westwall, or Siegfried Line, was a series of fortifications built by Nazi Germany along its western border in the lead-up to World War II, with the aim of defending against a potential invasion, particularly from France. It consisted of concrete bunkers, anti-tank obstacles, and other defensive structures.
In the final years of the war, especially in 1944-1945, the Westwall became the site of fierce battles as Allied forces, including the Americans, launched their advance into Germany. The commemorative ring, issued in honor of those who fought in these battles, symbolizes the courage and resilience of the soldiers who defended this strategically important defensive line. It often served as a token of affiliation for those involved in the defense or battles on the Westwall, highlighting the significance of this phase of the war.
