Coastal Emplacement (Japanese)

Description

A coastal emplacement with a large calibre gun was a common sight in WWII; from the early war examples in Britain, preparing for Operation Sealion, to massed batteries of the Atlantic Wall, built to repel the Allied invasion of Europe. The Pacific Theatre was no different, and amongst the Japanese defences the attacking US armies had to face were massive concrete gun emplacements. 

This example is based on an emplacement 8” gun located on Beito, part of the Tarawa atoll chain.
