Night Watch: German 60cm Flakscheinwerfer

The 60cm Flakscheinwerfer (Flak Searchlight) was a standard piece of equipment for Luftwaffe searchlight batteries throughout the war. Capable of projecting a beam several kilometers into the night sky, these units were essential for guiding anti-aircraft guns and night fighters toward their targets. Often operated by younger recruits or 'Flakhelfer,' these crews faced the daunting task of maintaining a steady beam while being targeted by Allied pathfinders and strafing aircraft during the defense of the Reich.\n\nThis highly detailed resin set features a complete anti-aircraft searchlight emplacement with a specialized operator team. The physical inventory includes 1 60cm searchlight unit with adjustable mounting, 1 seated operator figure integrated into the searchlight controls, and 2 standing spotter figures, one using binoculars and another signaling with an open shout, both in standard field uniforms and helmets.
