    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

Maginot Line

French fortification system along the German frontier from Switzerland to Luxembourg built 1929-36 under the direction of the war minister, André Maginot. It consisted of semi-underground forts joined by underground passages, and was protected by antitank defences; lighter fortifications continued the line to the sea. In 1940 German forces pierced the Belgian frontier line and outflanked the Maginot Line.
