It is a fort, but it's not overgrown... Here's another view of the same place....
so what's the name of the fort and what famous battle was fought around it?

Yeah, but didn't the Germans take that Fort and hold it for months and months?

I think it's an F-9, used in Korea.

dang it. I know it and can't remember it.
It was based on an earlier biplane float fighter that has the same tail and it was designed by Ernst Heinkel.

Well that certainly explains the graffiti.

Maybe the remains of one of the Verdun Forts.

Yes. It was one of the key forts around Verdun. But by early 1916 the French had stripped it of most of it's garrison and guns, sending them into trenches outside the fort instead. The Germans easily took the in the opening days of their initial offensive in 1916. The French spent almost a year trying to take it back.
