German Forces

DESCRIPTION

Sepp Dietrich - Commander of the Sixth Panzer Army, Dietrich had long been a favorite of the Fuhrer's. However, he was a good soldier who looked after his men's welfare and inspired them.

"Prize of Arms"

A single Waffen SS Panzer Grenadier walks off with a box of "liberated" U.S. Army field rations.

"Cold Feet... Warm Boots"

One of the indelible images of the early days of the German offensive in the Ardennes was the photo of some dead GI's lying in a road... without their boots. Some German soldiers standing nearby are swapping their own poor quality "ersatz" issue footwear for the much superior and much warmer American boots.

"Over There!"

A pointing Waffen SS trooper indicates something to a Luftwaffe Field Division rifleman.

"The Flak'41 88mm Gun"

This particular artillery piece boasted a lower profile and a higher rate of fire than its famous predecessor. The K&C model is dismounted on its four spars ready to go into action. Virtually all of these guns were primarily used in the anti tank role both on the East and West Fronts. It originally entered service in 1943 and served until the end of the war. Just 550 were manufactured and that's exactly what K&C are producing.

Each specially packaged model comes with a seated gunner and is painted in very typical late war "splinter camouflage" and is in a "fixed-firing" position.

Five additional gun crew figures are also available...

"Walking Forward"

Again, another figure based on a well-known photo of an SS NCO walking past a row of burning, abandoned American vehicles.

"Otto Skorzeny's Command Car"

Famed (or infamous if you prefer) SS Obersturmfuhrer Otto Skorzeny was in charge of the operation to launch English-speaking German soldiers dressed as GI's behind U.S. lines to spread confusion and cause havoc. Skorzeny himself, although in charge of the operation always wore regular Waffen SS combat uniform. He also made use of a converted Sd.Kfz.247 six wheeled command car.

This set includes Skorzeny, his personal driver and radio operator. Limited to 500 sets!

"Take Some!"

An SS Panzergrenadier offers to share some of his captured U.S. "C Rations" with a Volksturm rifleman.

"Prisoner and Escort"

A hapless GI forlornly trudges into captivity followed closely by his German captor.

"Jochen Peiper"

A very well-known Waffen SS officer who was once a military adjutant to Adolf Hitler. His division is, of course, the "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler"… the premier SS Division.

"Polizei ADGZ Armoured Car" (Winter Version)

"Machine Gunner"

"Sd. Kfz. 234/1 Schwerer Panzerspahwagen"

A mighty beast of a reconnaissance vehicle. This 8-wheeled behemoth has been "snow-camouflaged" and comes with a seated, full-body vehicle commander in the turret which mounts a 20mm cannon as well as an MG42 Machine Gun… A great winter add-on!

  "Stug. III Ausf. G"

One of Nazi Germany's Best and most self-propelled guns. This is K&C's first brand new Stug for several years and is in the traditional late-war 2-tone camouflage.

Available Now!

 

"Winter Traffic"

With all this "heavy-metal" on the roads someone's got to keep the traffic moving… The familiar "chained-dog" of the Feldgendarmerie could be seen all German battlefields.

 

"The Sniper"

Taking a swift "smoke-break" this Waffen SS expert marksman prepares, once more, to take the fight to the enemy. Note the typical SS-issue "Parka" the Sniper is wearing… only distributed to members of the Waffen SS exclusively.

 

"Suspicious Trooper"

This soldier is carrying the brand-new German Assault Weapon… Only a few thousand were available for front-line troops fighting in the Ardennes. Our model looks like he’s just heard something and is about to investigate.
