Hey

The units were mostly infantry, luftwaffe (flak crews), kriegsmarine coastal battery crews etc but if I understand this link some armour was involved as well:

But as I said....infantry is also an option. Think about a diorama with a bunker or something like that. You could also try a S.FH.150 heavy artillery gun used for the defence of Walcheren....or maybe a PAK40 used during the defence of the "Sloe" (the connection between Walcheren and Zuid-Beveland)

edit: armour was used for sure.....StuGIII ausf G pics taken at Zuid-Beveland:

Thanks for the link will go right to it

Hey that is idea.......i will check my local hobby store to see if they have a pak 40 ..

Interesting Stug. Thats the 2nd one I have seen that doesnt make sense according to the books. Zim was discontinued, BEFORE the Muzzle brakes where dropped on the StuH's!

AT gun position



Although I don't think a PAK40 would fit in it....

Maybe 50mm?
