Rupnik Line
Rupnik Line ((スロベニア語:Rupnikova linija)), named after the Slovene general in the Yugoslav army, Leon Rupnik, was a line of fortifications and weapons installations that Yugoslavia constructed along its terrestrial western and northern border. The construction of the line was a safety measure taken in order to counter the construction of Alpine Wall, a line built by the bordering country Italy, as well as against imposing danger of a German invasion. Yugoslavia's Rupnik line was inspired by various other fortification systems built along borders, mainly by France, Czechoslovakia〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Logatec - Rupnikova linija in Alpski zid )〕 and neighboring Italy. It was established to provide good positions to enforce the existing border, as well as to repel a potential invasion. Although there were around 15,000 troops manning the fortifications at its peak, with a potential of housing a total of 40,000, the line was never used to full potential, as it was largely unprepared and abandoned by the time Yugoslavia was invaded in April 1941. == Planning and construction == The idea of building fortifications along the Italian border with Yugoslavia emerged in 1935, to counter the construction of the Alpine Wall amidst gradual worsening of relations between the two states. In 1936 a decree was passed officially to begin designing the new fortification system along the border. The construction itself only began in 1937〔 or 1938.〔 Such a large scale operation significantly decreased the effects of ongoing economic crisis in the region, as well as boosted living standards, as the state employed around 15,000 workers at the beginning, with the number increasing to around 60,000 workers of whom approximately 40,000 were army reservists at the peak in 1941.〔 Around 4,000 bunkers and bunker complexes were finished or partially built before the Axis invasion.
