History

In regions like Norway and the Alps, German forces were adept at winter combat. These units, trained in skiing and mountain tactics, carried lighter arms and additional ammunition, boosting their mobility and stamina. Their ability to adapt made them highly successful in the demanding, high-altitude battlefields of World War Two.

These figures encapsulate the spirit of these specialised mountain units, allowing hobbyists to recreate realistic scenes from some of the most demanding theatres of the Second World War. The meticulous detail in these vintage-style figures makes them ideal for both display and educational purposes, bringing historical events to life on your workbench.
