What is left of this megalomaniac German defense line? What scars has the Atlantic Wall left in the Dutch landscape? And how does that structure (and the war) affect the lives of the coastal residents? In his own unconventional way, Merlijn goes in search of answers and that not only produces a wealth of stories about this strange 'contaminated heritage', but also a number of wonderful encounters with special South Hollanders.
