=== Border Watch === Small bunkers with {{convert|50|cm|in|abbr=on}} thick walls were set up with three [[embrasure]]s towards the front. Sleeping accommodations were hammocks. In exposed positions, similar small bunkers were erected with small round armoured "lookout" sections on the roofs. The programme was carried out by the Border Watch (''Grenzwacht''), a small military troop activated in the [[Rhineland]] immediately after the region was re-militarised by Germany from 1936 onwards, after having been de-militarised following the [[First World War]].
