WWII D-Day Playset #1 - Hit the Beach. 189 pieces - 54mm plastic toy soldiers and accessories.
(contents may vary slightly depending on availability). D-Day Tri-Series Playset #1 - Hit the Beach! The greatest sea-borne invasion in history took place on June 6, 1944 - D-Day. After fighting Hitler's Nazi regime for 5 years, the Allies, including the U. Great Britain, Canada, the Free French and eight other nations, finally took the war to his doorstep by landing at dawn on the Normandy Coast of France.The landings were met at the waterline by a series of prepared defenses known as The Atlantic Wall. " These included large concrete bunkers, small strong points known as "pillboxes, " barbed wire fences, steel girders bent into X shapes known as "Czech Hedgehogs to wreck allied landing craft, as well as sandbagged entrenchments. Backing up the defenses were units of German infantry, equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars, sighted to cover the beaches with overlapping fields of fire. The Allied troops approached the beaches in flimsy wooden landing craft, known as Higgins Boats.
They were accompanied by trained frogmen who came along to defuse bombs placed to destroy the ships as they approached the water line. The Normandy Beach landings were one of the War's most hard fought victories, with both sides knowing that a win for the Allies would mean doom for the Nazi overlords of Europe.
Can your American and British troops fight their way up the beach and hold their positions to make way for the rest of the Allied army, or will the Nazis push them back into the sea?
