Named after Ioannis Metaxas (the Greek dictator from 1936–41), the Metaxas Line consisted of a series of 22 fortifications that protected Greece's 155 km long border with Bulgaria.
The defensive network included tunnels, bunkers and machine gun nests, some of which still survive today. Major expansion work began in 1936, but the Metaxas Line was not properly completed before Greece became involved in World War II in 1940.
When Germany came to the aid of the fighting Italian forces in April 1941, German troops found it difficult to penetrate the Metaxas Line.
Eventually, German soldiers outflanked the Metaxas Line by conducting their attack across Yugoslavia.
