Descriptionof British Coastal Weapons vs German Coastal Weapons. The Dover Strait 1940-44
Manufacturer

For the first time ever, compare the British and German World War II big guns duelling with each other and harrying shipping in the Channel.
One of the longest-running battles of World War II took place across the English Channel, in which huge artillery guns attempted to destroy each other, created psychological terror among the local inhabitants living near the coast, and harassed shipping over a four-year period.

Neil Short examines the array of powerful weapons located across the Strait of Dover. Superb colour artworks explore both fixed gun batteries (including "Jane" and "Clem", and batteries Todt and Lindemann) and railway artillery (such as the German K5 and K12 guns, and the British 18in. "Boche Buster"). Construction and targeting technology used by each side are also covered in detail, and the locations of all the major sites around Dover and Calais are pinpointed on easy to follow maps.
