The Peel-Raam Line (Dutch: Peel-Raamstelling) was a Dutch defense line built in 1939 and attacked and conquered on 10 May 1940 by the German forces.
The Peel-Raam Line is, for most part, intact; the northern part, in particular. The stretch between Griendtsveen and De Peel Air Base and the spot nearby Mill features several visible remains. The fortifications and casemates in the municipalities of Deurne, Venray and Mill en Sint Hubert are protected as National monuments.
