The GHQ Line (General Headquarters Line) was a defence line built in the United Kingdom during World War II to contain an expected German invasion. The British Army had abandoned most of its equipment in France after the Dunkirk evacuation. It was therefore decided to build a static system of defensive lines around Britain, designed to compartmentalise the country and delay the Germans long enough for more mobile forces to counter-attack. Over 50 defensive lines were constructed across the country. After the coastal defences, the GHQ Line was the longest and most important, designed to protect London and the industrial heart of Britain, and was considered to be the last chance of defence.

  • Die General Headquarters Line (auch als GHQ Line bezeichnet) war eine britische, während des Zweiten Weltkrieges angelegte Verteidigungslinie. Diese als Hauptverteidigungsstellung angelegte Linie sollte den Großraum London und das mittelenglische Industriegebiet schützen. Dieses Verteidigungssystem beginnt am Nordende der Taunton Stop Line nahe dem Ort Highbridge in Somerset, verläuft dann längs des Flusses Brue und des Kennet-und-Avon-Kanals nach Reading, südlich um London herum über Guildford und Aldershot nach Canvey Island und Great Chesterford in Essex, bevor sie im Norden bei Yorkshire endet. Diese Verteidigungslinie wurde gegen eine potenzielle deutsche Landung in England errichtet (Operation Seelöwe). Die Stellung bestand aus sogenannten Pillbox-Bunkern. (de)

  • GHQ Line (Linha do quartel-general, em português) foi uma linha defensiva construída no Reino Unido para conter um invasão inesperada da Alemanha na segunda guerra mundial. Os britânicos abandonaram a maioria de seus equipamentos na França após a evacuação de Dunquerque.

Mais de 50 linhas defensivas foram construídas ao redor da Inglaterra, a linha "GHQ" era maior e a mais importante delas, tendo por objetivo defender o centro de Londres e o coração industrial do país.

El ejército británico había abandonado la mayor parte de su equipo en Francia después de la evacuación de Dunkerque. Por ello se decidió construir un sistema estático de líneas defensivas en torno a Inglaterra, todos diseñados para compartimentar el país y retrasar a los alemanes el tiempo suficiente para que las fuerzas móviles pudieran contraatacar. Más de 50 líneas de defensa se construyeron alrededor de Inglaterra, siendo la GHQ, la línea más larga y más importante, diseñada para proteger Londres y el corazón industrial de Inglaterra. La Línea GHQ iba desde el extremo norte de Taunton Stop Line, cerca de Highbridge, en Somerset, a lo largo del río Brue y el Canal de Kennet hasta Reading, alrededor del sur de Londres, al sur de Guildford y Aldershot, a Canvey Island y Great Chesterford en Essex , antes de dirigirse hacia el norte para terminar en Yorkshire. En la sección de la línea en Essex, entre la Great Chesterford y Canvey Island, las defensas se componían de alrededor de 400 tipos de casamatas FW3 de hormigón, que eran parte de las defensas bunkerización británicas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Más de 100 fortines todavía existen en esta sección en 2009, con alrededor de 40 FW3 muy visibles del tipo 22, 24, 26, 27 y 28 cajas de la autopista de peaje entre Rettendon y Howe Green, junto a la recién construida A130. Muchos más FW3s hay todavía en el norte de Chelmsford lo largo del Valle Chelmer y hacia Great Dunmow. (es)

Over 50 defensive lines were constructed across the country. After the coastal defences, the GHQ Line was the longest and most important, designed to protect London and the industrial heart of Britain, and was considered to be the last chance of defence. The "green" section of the GHQ Line ran from the northern end of the Taunton Stop Line near Highbridge in Somerset, along the River Brue, across the Mendips from Wells and following the railway from Masbury into the Wellow valley. This joined the "blue" line which followed the Kennet and Avon Canal to Reading. The green line continued from Bradford-on-Avon along the river to Malmesbury where it met the "red" line which ran to Abingdon, along the Thames to Pangbourne and rejoined the blue line at Theale. The green line continued to Avening then down the valley to Framilode, protecting the strategic areas of Bristol, Avonmouth, and Sharpness. The eastern line was to run inland of the coast from Essex to Edinburgh but was not completed. London was protected by the concentric rings of the Outer London Defence Ring. On the section of the line in Essex, between Great Chesterford and Canvey Island, the defences were made up of around 400 FW3 type concrete pillboxes, which were part of the British hardened field defences of World War II. Well over 100 pillboxes still exist on this section in 2021, with around 40 highly visible FW3 Type 22, 24, 26, 27 and 28 boxes between the Rettendon Turnpike and Howe Green, mostly alongside the A130 road. Many more FW3s are still in place north of Chelmsford along the Chelmer Valley and towards Great Dunmow. (en)

Sur la section de la ligne dans l'Essex, entre Great Chesterford et Canvey Island, les défenses étaient constituées de près de 400 casemates en béton de type FW3, qui faisaient partie des fortifications de campagne britanniques de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Plus de 100 casemates existent encore sur cette section en 2010, avec environ 40 casemates de type 22, 24, 26, 27 et 28 visibles depuis l'autoroute (en), récemment construite, entre Rettendon et (en). Beaucoup plus de casemates FW3 sont encore en place au nord de Chelmsford le long de la vallée Chelmer et vers Great Dunmow. (fr)
