Panzers troops parade figure question (1 Viewer)

[daruss]

Have a request about these new K&C tankers on parade.. The reich pretty much stopped with parades during the later stages of the war,, Does anyone have a photo of these troops in parade formation??

I have not seen parades as such like pre-war SS formations but, what I have seen is senior german officers visiting divisions such as the Das reich, Lah and, one photo of the Totenkopf parading in the field before a battle in front of eicke.

I have seen in some of the SS books I have the Das reich parading in the field after battles with medals being awarded and Hausser standing with a soldat with a banner.

Was surprised with the officer and sword but, Andy must have refrences for that pose.

I will source out the photo but, books at the moment are packed as I am decorating the house and, its a right state.

Could these fighting HJ figures be used in an Arnhem or Operation Market Garden scene?

Arnhem44...

Why not? They certainly could double up for Hohenstaufen or Frundsberg troopers and, as I said earlier they are great action poses

I have a volume by the german publishers "Dorfler" about the 12ths SS HJ Division, it's a photo book and in it is portrayed the funeral procession for the death of its commander Fritz Witt (killed in Normandy).There's a column of SS soldiers in the usual green grey uniform, but at the the head of the column are a standard bearer and two sword bearing officers or NCO dressed in panzer black ss uniforms..they are identical to the new figures by K&C.

Could you post the ISBN or title for me I have some stuff by them but, not aware of the book you mention and would like to see the photo. I have pictures of his funeral in other publications but not of the tank officers with swords
Thanks

Thanks its the same pic I have but, the marching banner and officers look to have been either missed from the negative or, a different photographer.

Opens up lots of new ideas
