BB004-BB005 Battle of the Bulge US Military Police Jeep and Sergeant (1 Viewer)

[FirstLegion]

First Legion is pleased to continue the expansion of our Battle of the Bulge series this time with US Military Police! The US Military Police played a very important, though mostly unrecognized, role in the Battle of the Bulge. In a battle of maneuver with divisions retreating and later advancing across a dispersed road net, the military police played a key role in manning critical crossroads and assisting units getting to where they needed to go and sorting out the inevitable traffic jams. They also played a critical role in detecting and apprehending German saboteurs behind the allied lines. Several were killed in action performing their various tasks and many were engaged in ad hoc small individual skirmishes that go largely unrecorded. We have presented the Jeep with a wire cutter attached to the front. These were sometimes placed as we have shown to cut wire strung across the road by the Germans.

BB004 US Military Police Willys Jeep with Wire Cutter and Driver $219.95
BB005 US Military Police Sergeant $69.95
Ships Early August

Best,

Matt

Fantastic display on both the Jeep/driver and MP!!!! love that the Battle of the Bulge range is getting more attention in other aspects such as the Jeep, hopefully some winter troops are not to far away.
