Military Model Depot
TAM-35382
Enhance the realism of your masterpiece model or diorama with this late WWII German Infantry Set. Components that recreate late-war small arms have been updated. German Wehrmacht soldier uniforms during WWII are separated into the early (1939~1940), middle (1941~1942), and late (1943~1945) periods. The late-WWII uniform was the M43 uniform featuring simplified details such as materials and pockets compared to earlier M36 and M40 uniforms. Efficiently produced leggings and ankle boots were used in place of leather jackboots. Also, it employed uniforms made for actual combat – such as a poncho used for camouflage, camouflage helmet cover, and small arms such as Mauser G43, MP44 rifle, and portable anti-tank arm Panzerfaust.
