Open artillery casements - being replaced by fully enclosed artillery bunkers on D-day as the artillery pieces and crews are pretty exposed to naval pre-programmed or counterbattery fire in these positions.
Thanks for looking.

D day fortifications in 6mm part 2
Just finished flocking these, so without further ado, here they are.

An open casement with French 155mm artillery piece for scale.
An M262a artillery observation command fire control bunker.
An H669 right enfilade garage bunker, viewed from the sea side.
The business end of the H669 bunker.
Another H669 garage bunker, this time a left enfilade version viewed from the land side.
Thanks for looking.

The M262a and the H669 bunkers really do look like they could survive quite a pounding but I definitely wouldn't want to be part of a gun crew in one of the open gun pits!
