Casemate 4, Batterie Todt is a bunker that was part of a coastal battery built by the German Wehrmacht during World War II. The battery was located near the French village of Audinghen, on the English Channel at Cap Gris-Nez. The battery consisted of four guns with a caliber of 38 centimeters, which could fire on England. The casemate 4 is not open to the public as it is on private property. However, it contains interesting murals made by the German soldiers, with caricatures of Winston Churchill, symbols of the Third Reich, quotes and sayings.

Not accessible by bicycle. On foot with a detour (turn right at the prohibition sign) and then you reach the bunker through a field.
The German drawings have meanwhile been painted over by contemporary "street art"

These Blockhouses of the vast Battery Todt preserve, not well protected, paintings and writings of German propaganda of the second world war
