Comment
The Todt battery is a German coastal artillery battery located in the hamlet of Haringzelles, in the commune ofAudinghen, in the southern part of Cap Gris-Nez.
It was the German Army's 7th largest artillery installation during the Second World War2 and ranks second only to the Lindemann battery in terms of firepower among the Atlantic Wall's most important coastal batteries.
It is equipped with four 380 mm naval guns with a maximum range of 55.7 kilometers, capable of reaching the English coast, each housed in a large reinforced concrete casemate.
