The Battle of Merville Gun Battery occurred on 6 June 1944, as part of Operation Tonga, part of the Normandy landings, during the Second World War. Allied intelligence believed the Merville Gun Battery was composed of heavy-calibre guns that could threaten the British landings at Sword Beach, only 8 miles (13 km) away.
The Regelbau 612 Casemate is one of three types of casemate present at the Merville Battery in Normandy on June 6th, 1944. This casemate was designed for use with 7.5cm cannons, 8cm FK 30 (r), 10.5cm howitzers, 10.5cm K 331 (f). At Merville it was armed with a 10.5cm LeFH 14/19(f).
This a flanking casemate however at Merville it had a second flanking wall around its gun port, likely due to its intended long distance or indirect use and its proximity to the sea, this extra flanking wall would give the gunners greater protection from incoming bombs or shell fire.

Digital Taxidermy is a new design studio producing ranges of 3D printed models and STL files for home printing. Our little world has spawned a series of science fiction stories set in our world under the heading ?A Jolly Fine Dystopia? these stories and the models are heading towards a tabletop skirmish and RPG game still to come.
The model is printed in PLA at a 0.3mm layer height. It will have a texture consistent with filament printing.
Smaller scales may be substituted for print in ABS-like resin.
Some clean up and finishing may be required.
Models are supplied unpainted and It will be printed to order, allow max 10 days for production.
It will be printed to order. More items like this, STL files and short sci-fi stories are available from our website. Hunt in the virtual wilds for the Digital Taxidermy, you might like what you find.
