D. “Under Fire”
These 13 new “Classic” Wehrmacht are, I believe, some of the finest “action” figures K&C has produced…The story behind them is also interesting…Last December I was visiting M. Fred Genard of Toy Soldier Paris and seeing his new warehouse and showroom. While there Fred organized a gathering of many of his top collectors. At the evening one of Fred’s clients kindly presented me with an original 1943 German Wehrmacht Calendar that contained a wealth of great illustrations of German Soldiers in action on the Eastern Front. These new pieces are based on many of those same original illustrations.
WS233 “Squad Leader”
MP40 in one hand this NCO gestures to his men to follow him.
WS234 “Running Messenger”
A company runner races forward to pass on a vital message…
WS235 “Give me the Message!”
Rifle in one hand this soldier reaches back for the written order.
WS236 “Radioman”
This lying prone radio operator is attempting to stay in contact with other elements of his company.
WS237 “Wounded!” (2 figs.)
A German Medic provides some water for a seriously wounded comrade. Please note in the German Army most medics carried a sidearm…especially on the Eastern Front!
WS238 “The Grenadier”
This dynamic soldier has just thrown one grenade at the enemy. Already he has another in his left hand…
WS239 “Officer Rifleman”
This lying prone officer is taking his place in the front line aiming carefully at the approaching enemy.
WS240 “Shouting NCO”
Another prone figure…this time with an MP40 “Schmeisser” in one hand and shouting out orders to his men.
WS241 “Covering Fire”
This prone MG34 gunner is laying down a blanket of fire while his comrades maneuver
WS242 “Out-of-Action”
One of the “walking wounded” making his way towards the company medic for treatment.
WS243 “Running Rifleman ‘A’ ”
Bent over and moving fast…
WS244 “Running Rifleman ‘B’ ”
Another rifleman moving across the battlefield his K98 Mauser held firmly in both hands.
Thanks Andy. Great figures and great poses. I agree these are by far the best figures to date. I hope we see more German grey in the future. Any chance of posting pictures from that calendar. I'm sure there are lots of us that would love to see the illustrations...
