Then how can you build the Atlantic Wall?

The prisoners have to be "Retrained" to get that engineer vibe.
Prisoners can be a real concern for the Germans in the early going. Dragging a squad of prisoners around into CC isn't something you want to do on a regular basis. The German has to use some of his forces to manage the prisoners and get them back,across the river.gathering and moving 8 or more squads and HS can be like herding cats.
Both sides have some unique problems to deal with in the CG. The french have to buy their reimforcement groups a CG Date in advance. This makes anticipating what is going to be needed quite important. While on the German side in addition to the aforementioned prisoner infestation. There is the problem of moving what you need where you need it on the east side of the river. Getting the trucks carrying the bridge sections through Dinants narrow streets to the river and hooked up with sufficient engineers while trying to secure the far shore and cliffs is something very different to what most ASLers are familiar with.
By themselves these things are simply tactical puzzles. But when you're under heavy fire they can become major problems quite quickly.
I've attached a picture of the congestion around the area where a ferry is operating and bridge construction has begun.
It more fun than it looks. Until you hear artillery or planes.
