The Battery Todt FranceBattery Todt
The Battery Todt
The battery was a threat to both Dover and the coast and shipping in the channel. During the three years the battery was operational the four guns fired 200 shells each. They had periods of up to 2 months when they did not fire the most they fired was 12 shots in a day. The battery was finally captured in September 1944 after two air raids dropped 2000 tons of bombs They did not seem to have damaged the bunker. The German troops gave up when Canadian tanks fired
shells through the loopholes. You can see them in the photo the shells exploded over the explosives
stored under the gun.
