National Defensive Line



The 'National Defensive Line', more commonly known as the 'Brusilov Line', was a static front of fortifications, advantageous defensive positions, rivers, and urban centers, to form a 12,000,000 men long wall that kept the Germans from winning any strategically significant victories for over a year. No major cities had to be abandoned, excepting Warsaw, and it is largely praised for keeping an outgunned and demoralized army afloat and victorious for over a year.
