I'm planning some scenic elements for playing games in 1/72 based on the assault on the Merville Battery on June 6, 1944. I've seen lots of pictures of the artillery bunkers, but no cut-aways or plans that show the interior layouts – can anyone recommend some that would make a good base for cobbling together some patterns? I'm especially curious how the gun apetures were angled to allow the emplaced guns to fire effectively. Any help would be appreciated. |

"It's amazing what 5 minutes with Google can do …" Perhaps, but there's certainly some skill involved – I doff my hat, and all – thanks for finding that! It's exactly what I was looking for. |

Don't forget that there was also a large command bunker with rooftop Tobruk, as well as a number of other bunkers, shelters and flak positions. |
