During the period 1936-40, the Navy constructed a series of underground Naval Fortresses and Shelters in Attica, to control sea access to the Saronic Gulf and to defend the Basin. Sturdily built, heavily armed, and meticulously hidden in the depths of the earth, they have rightly been described by researchers as "the Metaxas Line of Attica."
They represent an almost unknown aspect of WWII even today (more than 80 years after their construction), as their traces are meticulously hidden, away from uninitiated eyes. However, with this book, through vivid and well-documented text as well as rich photographic material and detailed diagrams, the forgotten underground Naval Fortresses and Shelters of Attica are fully revealed.
