Todt Battery, Military museum in Audinghen, France
The Todt Battery contains four concrete casemates housing 380-millimeter naval guns, positioned on the French coast near Cape Gris-Nez at 60 meters elevation.
German forces constructed this artillery battery between 1940 and 1942 as a strategic component of the Atlantic Wall defense system against potential Allied invasions.
The museum exhibits thousands of military artifacts across ten halls, presenting weapons, uniforms, and documents that detail the Atlantic Wall's wartime operations.
Visitors can access one preserved casemate containing military equipment, while additional outdoor exhibits feature a German K5 280-millimeter railway cannon.
The battery's guns possessed a firing range of 55.7 kilometers, enabling them to launch projectiles across the English Channel toward British territory.
