I came across this wonderful layout of a world war II battle in Normandy, made by Lugpol members Pit Mrutek Rasch Glaz Pimpur dmac Borys Misiek Axel Nexus 7 Matix Szarik Kris Kelvin and many other water helpers.
The amount of detail is incredibly vast that is difficult to enumerate and where to start. I will mention just a few details that caught my attention: the notion of movement in the water, the explosions, the detail of the studless vehicles and mainly the many scenes with minifigs that give life to this scenario.

Yoshix built Todeslager, his representation of one of the many Nazi death camps. It’s always a delicate subject to talk about but in my opinion it’s positive to remember the facts. History should not be forgotten.
Concerning the MOC, the overall design is good, such as the tower, but the fence is my favorite detail!
See more pictures here.
In his post, Yoshix refers to the most controversial LEGO sets of all time, the Nazi camp‘s built by an artist – Zbigniew Libera – to the Jewish Museum in New York.

Ciamoslaw Ciamek (aka PigletCiamek) has done another excellent layout, this time showing the war scenario of the airborne in Normandy at 1944.
There a lot of cool details that is hard to point out the favorites. I will suggest a close look to the German tank, infantry and the anti-aircraft machinery.
Here is the Ciamek’s description of the diorama:
Diorama shows US airborne troops landing in Normandy.
At night of 5/6 June 1944, as a prelude to the landing in Normandy operation an airborne troops assault was made. The work is inspired by the events from St. Mere Eglise town described in a book and depicted in the movie “The Longest Day”.
It is a “loose” presentation of the subject , as despite the quite “idyllic” atmosphere, there is also an unexpected gathering of German military equipment:
- Tiger tank
- Flakvierling anti-aircraft gun
- Anti-aircaft searchlight with a generator
- Wehrmacht post

Andrew made a cool representation of the Cherbourg liberation day that took place some days after D-day. Chergbourg was a strategic point of the Allied campaign to reconquer Europe from the Nazi occupation. The diorama illustrates French civilians emerging from their hidings to welcome the allied troops and the heavy damage in the buildings caused by the long days of battle. This construction deserves that we take a few moments to explore all the details, such as the bullets holes, the damage walls and the high-detailed M4 Sherman tank!

Dunechaser presents a MOC of World War II where “Medics provide treatment to casualties at a Battalion Aid Station in early June 1944, as an M3 Half-track rumbles by in a muddy lane behind the bullet-riddled farmhouse wall”.
The amount of details turns this construction into an incredible representation of a war scene. The bullet holes at different levels in the wall, the medic carrying the bandage made with a door piece, the tent made up of skate ramps, and other great details…
