In the game
Flooded marshland under a huge, half-wrecked steel bridge, set during the German invasion of France in 1940.
The real place
The Escaut fortified sector guarded the Belgian border and fell in late May 1940. The giant bridge is fictional.
Visiting
The restored casemate often opens on weekends and on European Heritage Days in September.
