frescos from the Battery Todt, Turm IV.
Here is a series of photographs taken and kindly supplied by Matthew Rivart end of April 2005. This is the current state of some frescoes in the fourth bunker fire from the battery to Audinghen Todt, Cape Gris-Nez. Home of German propaganda, the battery housed many inscriptions to the glory of the power of the German army. Those of Turm IV have been renovated in 1994 for a very short scene of the film Fortitude. Since the vandals have taken possession of the premises and cinemas to the ammunition bunker gradually lose the rare and striking written to the conflict.
Figure in the state of these frescoes in the late 90 . In a sense it is unfortunate to show these tags, their authors are certainly proud of their works (whose meaning eludes us and we mind if possible) and insensitive to fiber background.

It's sad to see the graffiti.
We are paratroopers. We are supposed to be surrounded.

The actual thing I uttered when I saw the BS spraypainted on these cannot be put on a family forum

You're right, of course. I'm sure these a**-clowns are very proud of their tags. Hopefully these shreds of human debris will go play chicken with a freight train somewhere in yet another attempt to be "cool".

Of course, their acts are only slightly less reprehensible than the bureaucrats that chopped down all of those trees with the WWII GI's carvings. [Link removed]

And it doesn't work for me as well, but do you mean the trees they cutted in Normandy or the trees near Noville (Bastogne).
