A World War 2 pillbox was a concrete shelter for machine guns used by both the Axis and allies.
They can still be found all along the south and south east coast of England and were used to shelter and house the guns and several occupants. They were used to defend beaches most famously and often inflicted numerous casualties on attackers, such as at Omaha beach were 2,400 American troops were killed on D-Day.
However, pillboxes were also used to defend high value places and open fields where the gunner could ambush enemy troops.
