Grenades through the apertures to deal with anyone in the casemate, then down the barrels of the guns to disable them. If grenades too big to fit, put charges on the barrels once casemate cleared and blow.

Give the Smoke Candle to the Glider Pilot. Pilot and Light MG on the top of the casement for overwatch. Two pairs of Combat Engineers on each side of the casement with their small explosive devices bags & the Bangalore torpedoes, 12.5kg shaped charges, & 3kg shaped charges.

Pilot lights the smoke candle & drops it over the side in front of the apertures in the casement. Engineers throw stick and smoke grenades through each aperture, Squad Leader fires submachine gun into the apertures.

If the torpedoes fit down the barrel of the guns, use them to spike the guns. They ought to, US M1A1 torpedoes used in WW2 were 54mm diameter. German designs likely weren't 21mm larger. If they wont work, then whatever charge will fit down the barrel. Detonate from the cover of the casement if possible.
