Q: Do players alternate the placement of Fortifications or does one player place all of his first, then the second player?
A: This comes from the Rules Update on the back of the D-Day check list:
Fortifications are deployed before all other units, since they are fixed and obvious on the battlefield. Once the first player is determined after the initial coin flip, that player deploys all his Fortifications. Then the second player deploys all his Fortifications. After all Fortifications have been deployed, deploy units normally.
