Regelbau 501 (Merville Battery) - Personnel Bunker (printed)

 The Battle of Merville Gun Battery occurred on 6 June 1944, as part of Operation Tonga, part of the Normandy landings, during the Second World War. Allied intelligence believed the Merville Gun Battery was composed of heavy-calibre guns that could threaten the British landings at Sword Beach, only 8 miles (13 km) away.


The German type 501 bunker was designed in 1939, as part of the planned Westwall defences against Francethe German counterpart to the French Maginot line. After construction of the Atlantikwall was started in 1942, the type 501 was built there as well, although it was later superseded by the type 621, which was roughly the same size but of more up-to-date design. At least 1,519 type 501 bunkers were built during World War II.
