Mont Blanc was accessed via a mountain steam-powered railway line completed in 1914 (electrified in 1956). To demonstrate Nazi power, the ridges of Mount Blanc became a front line in WWII.

The city of Chamonix at the base of Mont Blanc came under German occupation and remained a frontier post until liberation in August 1944.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/travelposters\/files\/2020\/08\/France-for-wonderful-scenery-626x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/travelposters\/files\/2020\/08\/France-for-wonderful-scenery-626x1024.jpg 626w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/travelposters\/files\/2020\/08\/France-for-wonderful-scenery-183x300.jpg 183w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/travelposters\/files\/2020\/08\/France-for-wonderful-scenery-768x1256.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><figcaption>S.N.C.F. 1948 N&#8221;o&#8221; 64 &#8211; 8 (47) &#8211; R.C.
