DIORAMA DUNKERQUE 1/35

Description

Historical Context

The Battle of Dunkirk took place in May and June of 1940 during the Western Campaign of World War II. The city of Dunkirk, located in northern France, served as the last evacuation port for British troops deployed in France in 1939-1940 as part of the Allies' initial defensive strategy. This diorama kit captures the intense atmosphere of this critical historical moment.

Featured Vehicle: Laffly V15T

The Laffly V15T was a French all-terrain 4x4 vehicle produced from 1938 to 1940, primarily designed to tow light artillery and serve as a reconnaissance and liaison vehicle. Developed by Laffly starting in 1937 in response to a French army tender, this versatile vehicle played an essential role in the early stages of the war. During World War II, the German Wehrmacht repurposed many captured military vehicles, including the Laffly V15T, often equipping it with the original French 25 mm anti-tank cannon.
