"Tobruk" Bunker for HMG (German)
This little bunker, called by the allies a 'Tobruk', was usually occupied by only one man who operated a MG42 machinegun, but there were 7 other basic types and lots of variants. Some types of 'Tobruk' were designed to fire mortars from, they are recognisable by the larger opening and a small pillar in the middle where the mortar was placed. Tobruk's were also modified to carry turrets of tanks, mostly pre-war turrets. For example, a Tobruk with a R35 tank turret, armed with a 3,7 cm gun, was positioned at Le Grand Vey (Wn 101) at the southern point of Utah Beach. One of the most common types of German bunker, the small but very effective "Tobruk" was often used to protect larger installations or behind multiple lines of minefields, barbed wire and tank traps. Typically 3 or 4 would be placed so as to create a 'killing zone' and maximize enemy casualties while crossing the obstacles. The bunker was meant to be completely buried, leaving only the little door at the side exposed; often that access was connected to a trench system.
You can simply place the top part of the bunker on the table, and it's ready to play; if you want to incorporate it into a more complex diorama or scenic table a separate side section is provided, This is what it could look like assembled; the door is also a separate piece so can be mounted in any position. Overall size is 110x70mm and the height is 25mm. The wall section is 55mm x 38mm and the door opening is 18mm x 30mm.
Like all our models this is a historically accurate reproduction with plenty of beautifully sculpted surface detail to help you in painting, including damage from enemy small arms fire, and it's made of tough POLYURETHANE.
Supplied unpainted.
