Corinth (Greece) - the second world war (WW2) German fortifications at the Corinth Canal IN Greece. Let's go to Greece and let's visit the Corinth Canal concrete pillboxes (bunkers) built by the Germans in order to protect that Corinth Canal during the second world war (WW2). The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea in Greece by cutting through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and by separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland. The Corinth Canal was of vital importance to the Germans because most of the supplies for Rommel's armies (for the North African campaign) had to pass through it.
The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. The canal was dug through the isthmus at sea level and has no locks.
