Plastic kit for a WWII Normandy Beach Hedgehog set
The three connected angle profiles are a Czech construction from the 1930s, hence the name Czech hedgehog. They are anti-tank obstacles that was captured in large numbers during the invasion of Czechoslovakia and later rebuilt by the Germans. Using the notches on the ends of the profiles, they could also be hooked together. On soft ground such as a sandy beach, the obstacles were provided with concrete feet to prevent sinking. Czech hedgehogs found extensive use in Normandy at Omaha Beach, but were also used elsewhere. They are still used today and in a modified form.
