Dragon Plastic Model Kit
Cross Of Iron (Eastern Front 1944) (1/35)
This 1/35 scale Dragon figure set portrays German soldiers fighting on the Eastern Front during 1944, a period defined by defensive battles, constant pressure, and rapidly changing conditions. The figures are sculpted to reflect late war realities, with practical poses and equipment arranged to suggest frontline combat rather than parade ground presentation.
Uniforms and personal gear show the varied and utilitarian appearance typical of this stage of the war, making the set particularly suitable for gritty battlefield or winter themed dioramas. The figures work well as a standalone group or integrated into larger scenes involving armour, ruined terrain, or improvised defensive positions.

History: By 1944 the Eastern Front had turned decisively against Germany. Soviet offensives pushed westward with overwhelming manpower and material, forcing German units into near constant retreat or desperate defensive actions. Infantry formations often fought in fragmented groups, relying on field fortifications, ruined villages, and natural terrain for protection. The conditions were harsh, supply lines strained, and casualties heavy. Figure sets like this aim to capture the atmosphere of those final, brutal campaigns, where survival and delay became the primary objectives.
