Concrete poured for fortifications

A thick stream of wet concrete pours from a chute into a trough; men in steel helmets and work clothes stand beside the drum of a large mixer as it tips its load; among trees a squat blockhouse of bare concrete, its surface marked by the shuttering, stands finished. According to the older catalogue the building of the Maginot Line, which France built along its border with Germany from 1930, named after the war minister André Maginot.
