CAP GRIS NEZ, AUDINGHEN, PAS DE CALAIS, FRANCE

August 23, 2008

The Third stop of the day was the German Bunker at CAP GRIS NEZ, AUDINGHEN. This is one of the many bunkers in the Atlantic wall; inside there is a museum with lots of stuff from the war, including Nazi artifacts. Outside the museum is lots of vehicles and artillery on display, including the 218 ton, 35 meter long railway gun. The range of this massive weapon was 62 kilometers and 86 Kilometers with special shells. Needless to say that was the best part about that museum. After the museum we went to the coast and go to see across the English Channel and see England itself. Pretty neat we could do that.
