In full agreement history should always be saved !

Funny you'd mention Hadrian's Wall. I was just watching a film, The Eagle, and the main characters pass through it in the movie.

Aye, I agree. Regardless of who built it; history need be kept.

Absolutely agreed with Dan

Indeed no better point than what Dan said about Hadrians wall. The German built coastal defenses should be preserved in the same way the death camps should be preserved. If for no other reason it is a reminder to humanity.
