For the record, I have read A Storm of Steel and Fire, but just wanted to ask this anyway, considering how little I know about WWII. Besides, I've already raised the usual "Kaiser Bill attacks east, defends west" question, may as well round things out.
Anyway, what set of circumstances would lead Nazi Germany to build a substantial "Westwall", rather than just a propaganda piece? And, once built, how much would it help the Axis, considering the major disadvantage they had in almost every area.
