Haldor Defensive Line Anti-Tank Turret 1/3
The Haldor Defensive Line (Aksjön: Hallþórr vegg) was an extensive system of concrete fortifications, obstacles and weapon installations that Aksjö, Germanica and later the Aksjö Remnant and the Reich constructed on the Northern side of its borders with Neustrasia and the Kentese Kingdom during the late 1940s as a defence against an anticipated invasion. The line was a response to Aksjö experience in the Avratic War and was constructed during the Dark Days in the aftermath of the Endkrieg.
The Aksjö defence forces established the fortification to give their army time to mobilize in the event of attack. The success of static, defensive combat in The Great War was a key influence on Aksjö thinking. Their military experts extolled the Haldor Line as a work of genius, believing it would prevent any invasion from the royalist nations.
Aksjö high command ordered the construction of the fortifications in 1944 a.s. Almost five million slave workers were drafted to build it of which most died during the first year in service as a result of malnutrition. The Reich had no shortage of workers and made sure to complement the labor force with sufficient numbers. The fortifications included colossal guns, anti-air batteries, mortars, artillery, anti-air missiles and tens of thousands of Aksjö and Reich elite troops were stationed in its defences.
