OP 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?
