German WWII Fortifications, Ramparts And Weapons

"A fortification can either be temporary or permanent. In military jargon, the words field fortifications and fixed fortifications are often used here. The field fortification is by nature improvised; tools and materials at hand are used, it is most likely crafted by untrained personnel using simple instructions as i.e. a field manual. It is erected to cater for fluctuating developments in the strategic theatre on the battlefield and the expected lifespan is short, sometimes just hours or days. Field type fortifications can, however, also be applied to supplement fixed fortifications." Regelbau Fortifications.
