History
During the early years of Operation Barbarossa and the push into Soviet territory, German infantry formed the backbone of the Wehrmacht’s offensive. Clad in M40 field grey tunics and jack boots, these soldiers endured harsh conditions and heavy resistance, particularly on the Eastern Front. Their equipment and tactics reflected both tradition and adaptation to mechanised warfare. Figure sets such as this provide modellers with a window into the daily combat experience of these troops, capturing the visual history of a pivotal moment in WWII.
