STALIN LINE IS DESCRIBED
Few facts have leaked out about Soviet Russia's Stalin Line,
and there is no reliable basis on which to judge its strength. Here is the best available picture:
In general, it is a 100-mile | man-made barrier running along the entire old Russian western) frontier from the Black Sea to the Gulf of Finland, and it was built principally to guard against invasion from Germany.
It combined the features of France's Maginot Line, including great, fully-equipped concrete for- tresses built underground, with the advantages of Germany's West Wall, which is built in greater depth.
