Hello fellow users, and welcome to my first project on PMC! Today, I have recreated one of the most feared bunkers that were a part of Hitler's "Atlantic Wall." Built using steel bars and a whole lot of concrete, these types of bunkers were a creation of German engineering. Seen on the beaches of Normandy, it held the powerful and famous 88mm (8.8 cm) PaK 43/41 towed anti-tank gun which delivered a serious punch when struck fired. These bunkers would usually be put at both ends of the beach so it's line of fire would cover the entire beach. At Omaha Beach it had two of these bunkers, while at the rest of the beaches, there was typically only one. It was constructed with a concrete wall on the outside that would be able to deflect incoming enemy fire. Most of these would be covered by earth or camoflage nets to stay hidden from reconaissance planes. Some were even painted in a camoflage pattern, but it depended on the local unit. A total of about 146 of these were created and placed on the Atlantic Wall.
WARNING: I HAVE USED THE LOWER HALVES OF IRON AND WOOD DOORS FOR THE GUN, SO MAKE SURE TO USE THE LATEST SNAPSHOT IN ORDER TO SEE THEM!
P.S. BLOCK UPDATES TO THOSE DOORS WILL CAUSE THEM TO ESSENTIALLY POP OFF, SO BE CAREFUL!
Also, the creator of the original gun design: http://www.planetminecraft.com/member/x_hunter33/
