Regelbau R612 casemate

Description

The R612 casemate was a reinforced concrete gun emplacement constructed by Nazi Germany as part of the Atlantik Wall coastal defence system during the Second World War. Designed to house the 10.5 cm leFH 324(f) field howitzer—originally a French Schneider model captured after the fall of France—the R612 provided both protection and a stable firing platform.

The structure featured a frontal embrasure for the gun, thick blast-resistant walls, and internal space for the crew and ammunition storage. Its layout allowed for effective coastal defence, targeting Allied landing forces and naval vessels.

The 10.5 cm gun offered a respectable range and rate of fire, making it suitable for both direct and indirect fire missions. R612 casemates were typically positioned to cover beaches, harbour approaches, and inland routes.

This model has a removable roof and/or floors for access.

Please note that these are designed to be built into terrain, gaming boards and so can be quite deep – please contact us if you require them to be lower to the tabletop and we will shorten them before printing to save material and cost for you.
