Barbed-wire obstacles across open hill country

In grey light, belts of barbed wire strung on crossed stakes run in a long curve across bare, rolling farmland; a road cuts through the field, and a few houses stand on the skyline. The source describes hilly country and underground bunkers with barbed wire on the Westwall, the line of fortifications that Germany built along its western border from 1936, on a vast scale from 1938.
