NPye Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 I've knicked one of my Berlin Buildings for the Benouville Chateau as its almost imposible to replicate it and still have functioning building ie all windows can be fired from. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPye Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 More from the Benouville Map... The first 2 Horsas to land in Normandy... The glider pilots land so close to the bridge... Troops arrive from 7th Para Battalion and start to move over the bridge... The Piat is quite effective at close range... ...and even against the PzKw IV. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture takes me back a few years. We had been on a camping holiday towing a trailer tent half way across beautiful France. On the way back to the ferry at Ouistreham, my satnav had a wobble and took me off on a road that led, to my surprise, over that very bridge. I was then able to hang a left turn and head along the wrong side of the estuary and cross a single track harbour bridge to get to the ferry port. Just in time ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPye Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 More from Benouville, updated with some of WIMs buildings... The Corner House, opposite the Mairie which has been knocked down for some horrible flats... The Tram Station The road that leads to the bridge... you can see the Mairie middle left. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WimO Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 BTW. Old photos also show that the gas pump referred to by some of the soldiers is in front of Le Chaumiere east of the entrance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just finished the Corner House opposite the Mairie... based on this photo, shame it was demolished a few years back and will soon be flats that look really out of place??? Again compromise but I think ok. I built that one from scratch.... Edited August 18, 2023 by NPye 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WimO Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 At about 0430 hours, first light, the FOO and RN attached to the 7th Btn, moved into the upper floor of the corner house to overwatch the open fields to the SW of the crescent from where the Germans could advance against the "T" intersection. Meanwhile 9 Ptn, "C" Coy sent a patrol to the end of the crescent. There they ran into a German patrol twice their size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NPye Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Ok Corner House finished, now with Terra Cotta Roof Tiles, like the original. Ok now finished the Le Port Church, I managed to actually use the Roof and the front entrance from some photos I found. It looks like the church was built in stages as all three main elements look different... As the Bell Tower has no spiral, I made it from mod building, as always not exact but a good compromise??? The Tower was an obvious place for snipers and one account I read, was that it was almost impossible for the paras to get up into the tower as there was only one entrance and the snipers were still active when Lord Lovat's Commandoes arrived, in fact six of them were shot by the snipers as they crossed the bridge.

Mate, there are so many levels to that day it is great to just read about it and know what the places looked like and to be able to follow the paras progress on our maps.

kohlenklau Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Maybe you 2 should fight the battle as a PBEM and post the DAR here! Flip a coin to see who is allies or axis. NEXT YEAR is the 80th anniversary. USAF C-130's will get "invasion stripes" in commemoration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
