    Product details

    Background & context

    Andrew Higgins baute in New Orleans flache Boote für die Ölsucher in den Sümpfen Louisianas. Genau diese Bauweise brauchte eine Armee, die Männer ohne Hafen direkt auf einen Strand setzen wollte: Bug ins Flache, Rampe runter, Trupp raus, rückwärts wieder frei. Rund 20.000 dieser Boote entstanden, in der Normandie und bei den Inselsprüngen im Pazifik trugen sie die ersten Wellen an Land. Eisenhower nannte Higgins später den Mann, der den Krieg gewonnen habe.

    On the tabletop

    The Higgins boat carried the first waves ashore in Normandy and later served at Iwo Jima and Okinawa as well. This 1:72 kit has 47 parts and measures 145 mm, and the decals let you build a Royal Navy or a US Navy boat. Its trademark is the full-width bow ramp over which troops ran straight onto the beach. You can use it in a diorama or on a Second World War gaming table together with 1:72 infantry.
