Green Devils: Fallschirmjäger Advance

The Fallschirmjäger were pioneering airborne troops who utilized specialized gear such as the rimless M38 helmet to prevent parachute shroud lines from snagging during a jump. Unlike standard infantry, they were often issued a high proportion of automatic weapons, including the FG42 and MP40, to ensure rapid fire superiority upon landing in hostile territory. By 1944, they were primarily used as elite 'fire brigades' on the ground, famously holding the ruins of Cassino against overwhelming odds through superior small-unit leadership and expert use of cover.\n\nThis high-detail resin set features 5 paratroopers in various standing and advancing tactical poses. The physical inventory consists of one soldier armed with an MG34 light machine gun, one rifleman with a Karabiner 98k, two troopers equipped with MP40 submachine guns, and one specialist soldier carrying a stick grenade and submachine gun, all wearing characteristic jump smocks and lace-up jump boots.
