Product Description
The D-Day landings are among the most famous amphibious assaults in history. Amphibious landings are already a difficult endeavour to pull off, and encountering a beach littered with obstacles makes it that much more difficult. The Beach Obstacles pack contains two different types of obstacles found confronting the Allies on D-Day.
Stakes (Hochpfahlen): These were the most common obstacles encountered on the beaches of Normandy. They consisted of wooden or metal stakes tipped with Teller mines. These were driven into the beach sand below the high-tide mark to destroy incoming landing craft and vehicles.
Ramps (Hemmbalk): These beam obstructions were designed to disable or destroy landing craft. The beam ramped upwards towards the beach and was mounted on two more study beams.
Each ramp was either armed with steel teeth (Stahlmesser) or Teller mines. The landing craft would ride up the ramp and either be ripped apart by the teeth or destroyed by the exploding mine. The ramps were also designed to tip the landing craft over.
