Hello,

Today's mail `Maginot line' has the following lines

Maginot line (MAZH-uh-no lyn) noun

An ineffective line of defense that is relied upon with undue confidence.

[After André Maginot (1877-1932), French Minister of War during World War II who proposed a line of defense along France's border with Germany. Believed to be impregnable, the barrier proved to be of little use when Germans attacked through Belgium in 1940.]


When did M. Maginot die?
