Yes: France, Belgium, Holland, Germany. (Not meant to sound facetious)
They probably did in theory however it was thought that with the strength of the Atlantic wall that the allies would not get off the beach.

Most of the equipment was looted to reinforce the Atlantic wall.
The line saw little action until 1944, although the Germans used it for storage and spare parts. The Allies fought through a small portion of the line around Metz in the fall of 1944 and in northern Alsace in December.
