The Casemate de Marckolsheim Sud is a pre-World War II fortified position near the Rhine river in eastern France. The casemate was part of an extension of the Maginot Line fortifications along France’s border with Germany. As a unit of the Fortified Sector of Colmar the casemate was part of French defenses during the German assault of 15-18 June 1940 Operation Kleiner Bär. It has been preserved and is part of a museum focusing on the Rhine section of the Maginot Line.
