I have posted an article showcasing the panzerturm bunker model I constructed using the turret from Warlord Games Panzer I ausf B kit. Come take a look: link "Tread-heads" and "rivet-counters" please note that I acknowledge that I have absolutely zero evidence to confirm historical use of the Panzer I turret in the panzerturm role. |

Whether actually used or not, that is an excellent piece of work. Jim |

There is a sentence in the Wiki article on the Pz I that turrets of both it and the Pz II were used in the Atlantic Wall. That sentence is footnoted with a link to an Atlantic Wall in Denmark web site, specifically to: atlanticwall.dk/tt.html This is a very detailed web site and I encourage your exploration of it. So it seems that they were used, albeit in a secondary theater. Jim |

This really rocks. Im with you, in reality while they may have little /limited use, I have been thinking of doing the same thing with some of my excess, All Quiet on the Martian Front turrets. I so hate just tossing them out (waste). WW I taught us 'fixed fortifications' were a thing of the past.. but you cant get over how great they (this) can look on the game table. Paint On!! And please keep posting. |
