RE: Kiev ´43 - First Impressions
Lost Victories by Erich von Manstein
1982 edition

page 472 - Discusses the lack of fortifications along the Dnepr river. Hitler did not approve the building of fortifications because he wanted those resources to be used on building the Atlantic wall. The author states that in some places civilians were used to build light fortifications.

Retributions by Pritt Buttar
Kindle edition

page 257 - Discusses the plant to build a fortified line along the Dnepr river. Hitler forbade it because it would have negative effect on Axis allies and the existence of a strong line would encourage the troops to retreat.
