Regelbau R669 large casemate

Description

The R669 was a substantial reinforced concrete casemate constructed by Nazi Germany as part of the Atlantik Wall coastal defence system during the Second World War. Designed to accommodate field and coastal artillery ranging from 7.5 cm to 15.5 cm calibre, it provided a protected firing position for repurposed guns, including captured French and German models.

The structure featured thick blast-resistant walls, a frontal embrasure for the gun, and internal compartments for ammunition storage, crew shelter, and operational equipment. Its layout allowed for both direct and indirect fire, making it suitable for engaging naval targets and supporting defensive operations against amphibious assaults.

The R669 was typically positioned to cover beaches, harbour approaches, and strategic inland routes. Its robust design enabled it to withstand heavy bombardment, contributing to the layered defence network of the Atlantik Wall.

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.
