lives, money, and property. And the ultimate cost
of such coastal development, experts say, is the
beach itself. (Warren...

extensive amounts of barbed wire leading up to the
hills. He placed machine guns at angles to have
better shots at all points of the beach. He also
added all types of weapons to cover all possible
weaknesses in the German posts. He added mortars
