De Dodendraad, of Draad des Doods. Zo stond het stroomstootwapen bekend, dat door de Duitsers in de Eerste Wereldoorlog werd ingezet langs de hele grens tussen Nederland en België. Ook na bijna 100 jaar is de draad nog altijd niet vergeten.
In Hamont-Achel in Belgisch Limburg leiden speciale bordjes naar een reconstructie van deze afschrikwekkende versperring, waarop 180 km lang, van Vaals tot Cadzand, een spanning stond van 2000 Volt of meer.
