Storming the Line: Wehrmacht MP40 Assault Squad

The MP40 submachine gun was an essential tool for the German infantry, particularly for NCOs and officers who needed a compact, automatic weapon for urban combat and trench clearing. These soldiers often carried specialized magazine pouches on their belts to accommodate the 32-round stick magazines, ensuring they could maintain a high rate of fire during aggressive maneuvers. The combination of the iconic M35/M42 steel helmets and M43 field caps (Einheitsfeldmütze) seen in this squad reflects the mid-to-late war appearance of veteran front-line units.\n\nThis high-action resin set includes 6 infantry figures depicted in various stages of a tactical advance. The physical inventory consists of five standing or advancing soldiers armed with MP40 submachine guns in active firing and ready stances, and one kneeling soldier providing suppressive fire, featuring a mix of steel helmets and field caps with full combat webbing.
