Route du Musée, 62179 Hameau de Haringzelle - Audinghen, France Turm 3 specific: Latitude: 50.84028 Longitude: 1.59755 When driving into the Audinghen area from any direction the D 940 road will lead you to the Batterie Todt museum and associated turms. Turm 3 is about a 1,000 yards to the north west. There lie the ruins of what is left of this giant casemate. In the early 1950's a group of French workmen were clearing the inside of the casemate when one of the muntions shells accidentally exploded causing a chain reaction and subsequently killing three of the workman on site, needless to say little is left of Turm 3. |  Click to enlarge map  Crumbling stairway that once led to the top of Turm 3. |
