Division Miniatures 1:35 German Gebirgsjäger, Mountain Infantry, WWII - Resin Figure #35-053
The light infantry section of German and Austrian alpine troops are called Gebirgsjäger (Jäger - 'hunter'). The Gebirgsjäger, along with German paratroopers, are considered the elite infantry units of the German Army.
During the Second World War, the Gebirgsjäger units were lightly equipped and often used mules as their transport. Mountain infantry men carried fewer automatic weapons than regular infantry and could be identified by the edelweiss insignia on their sleeves and caps. Machine gunners usually had more ammunition than the regular infantry.
The Gebirgsjäger troops took part in a number of WWII battles, including the Gothic Line, the invasion of Crete, the operations in the Caucasus and others.
The kit includes one unpainted resin figure of a German soldier.

Dragon 1:35 - Commanders Conference, Kharkov 1943 - Plastic Model Kit #6144
On the 19th of February 1943, the II SS Panzer Corps and two panzer armies under the command of Field Marshal Erich von Manstein launched their counterstrike on the Eastern Front, aimed to recapture Kharkov and Belgorod. With extensive air support from Luftflotte 4, in two weeks the German Army defeated the Red Army south of Kharkov and was able to directly engage the city on the 11th of March. After four days of house-to-house fighting, Kharkov was recaptured by the 1st SS Panzer Division on March the 15th. This series of battles is known as the Third Battle of Kharkov, which cost the Red Army over 80,000 casualties. Bevin Alexander, a military historian, called the Third Battle of Kharkov "the last great victory of German arms in the Eastern Front".

Dragon 1:35 - DAK Kubelwagen with Officers - Plastic Model Kit #6364
Kübelwagen was a WWII German light military vehicle used by both Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. It was produced by Volkswagen from February 1940 until the end of the war and came in a number of types and variants.
Kübelwagens were simple, reliable and showed good cross-country performances. They served on all fronts with the German Army until the end of WWII and after. The vehicles were not armoured or armed, and were used mostly as staff cars. For rainy weather Kübelwagens used a folding canvas roof. The vehicles withstood the hot climate of North Africa without problems.
This kit contains over 160 parts for the assembly of one Kübelwagen and four German officers in North Africa.

Dragon 1:35 - German Combat Unit, Waffen SS, Ardennes 1944-45 - Plastic Model Kit #6002
The last major German offensive on the Western Front of WWII, the Battle of the Bulge ('Unternehmen Wacht am Rhein' or the Ardennes Counteroffensive) was launched on the 16th of December 1944 through the dense forest of Ardennes in eastern Belgium. The German plan was to destroy the Allied armies and force them to negotiate a peace treaty in Germany's favour. Germany would then be able to fully concentrate their efforts on the Eastern Front.
The German Army planned this offensive with utmost secrecy, and on 16 December 1944 the surprise attack caught the Allies completely off guard. American forces incurred their highest casualties of any operation during WWII. However fierce resistance on the Elsenborn Ridge and around Bastogne impeded the German advance and allowed the Allies to reinforce their troops. Subsequent Allied air attacks led to the failure of the offensive. The Battle of the Bulge was the second bloodiest battle in American history.
This kit contains over 60 parts for the assembly of four figures of German soldiers.

Dragon 1:35 - German Gebirgsjager, Caucasus 1942 - Plastic Model Kit #6045

These divisions usually carried fewer automatic weapons than their regular infantry counterparts, although the MG 34 or MG 42 machine gunners had more ammunition compared to regular infantry. Gebirgsjäger wore edelweiss insignia on their sleeves and caps.
German Mountain Divisions took part in many battles over the course of WWII. In 1942, they participated in the offensive in the Caucasus area on the Eastern Front, named Operation Edelweiss. The German plan was to gain control over the Caucasus and to capture the oil fields in Azerbaijan. In August-September 1942, Wehrmacht took the cities of Stavropol, Maykop, Krasnodar, Mozdok and Novorossiysk. On the 21st of August, the 1st Mountain Division planted the flag of Nazi Germany on the summit of Mount Elbrus, the highest mountain in the Caucasus Mountains and in Europe.

Dragon 1:35 - German Nachtjager, Berlin 1945 - Plastic Figure Model Kit #6089
An active infrared device codenamed the Vampir (ZG 1229) was developed for the Wehrmacht for use on rifles and machine guns at night time. The Wehrmacht soldiers started to use Vampir gear at the final stages of WWII. Soldiers who carried the Vampir were known as Nachtjäger - night hunters. Along with the device, they also carried a 13.5 kilogram wooden cased battery for the light, and another battery inside a gas mask container to power the image converter. The sensor operated in the upper infrared spectrum and therefore was not sensitive to body heat.
The kit includes parts for the assembly of four German soldiers, three with night scope rifles (the Vampir mounted on the MP44) and one with an anti-aircraft shoulder fire weapon - the Fliegerfaust.

The Sd.Kfz.2 Kleines Kettenkraftrad was originally designed as a light tractor for airborne troops, but it quickly gained widespread use amongst German troops. Designed and patented in 1939, the vehicle was first used during in the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. The Sd.Kfz.2 was also used in the North African theater and on the Western Front. The Kettenkrad was steered like a motorbike, but also had twin track runs at the rear. In total, over 8,000 examples of this vehicle were manufactured.
This is a detailed kit for creating an Early-Production Sd.Kfz.2 with interior. The kit also includes a driver and an infanteriekarren (‘infantry cart’).

During WWII, German Sturmpionier units performed a variety of tasks, primarily breaching enemy fortifications and building bridgeheads. They were usually armed with flame throwers, machine guns and heavy explosives. Sturmpioniere were trained in assault, demolition including destroying enemy bunkers, hand-to-hand combat, and using smoke candles, grenades and explosives.
Sturmpionier units played an important role in the success of the crossing of the Meuse river in May 1940, which enabled Germany to capture Sedan and effectively led to the defeat of France in June 1940.
The kit contains over 60 parts for the assembly of three figures and a Kleiner Floßsack 34 raft.

Dragon 1:35 - Italian Paratroopers, Anzio 1944 - Plastic Model Kit #6741
The Italian Paratroopers Division "Nembo" was officially formed in November 1942. Following the armistice of September 1943 which stipulated the surrender of Italy to the Allies, violent conflicts arose in the division with some units wishing to comply with the directives of the Italian Government and others refusing to accept the change of alliances. As a result some of the "Nembo" division units became part of the Italian Co-belligerent Army and fought alongside the Allies for the liberation of Italy, while others remained on the German side. The latter participated in the German counterattack at Anzio since February 1944. The Battle of Anzio was part of the Italian Campaign of WWII which started with Operation Shingle, the Allied amphibious landing on the 22nd of January 1944, and ended in June 1944 with the capture of Rome.
This kit contains over 60 parts for the assembly of four figures of Italian paratroopers. The paratroopers are wearing a mix of Italian and German uniforms - German Fallschirmjager smocks and Italian helmets and vests. Weapons and accessories are also a mix of Italian and German.

The Battle of Stalingrad was the largest battle of WWII and the bloodiest confrontation in the history of warfare, with almost 2 million people killed, wounded or captured. From August 1942 until February 1943, Germany and its allies fought the Red Army for control of the city of Stalingrad. After over five months of heavy fighting, Axis forces exhausted their ammunition and food and the remaining units surrendered. After the Battle of Stalingrad, the Nazi government for the first time publicly acknowledged a failure in its war effort.
This kit contains over 50 parts for the assembly of four figures of German soldiers during the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942-1943.

The Tiger II was a German heavy tank of WW2. The last official German designation was Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, often shortened to Tiger B. It is also known under the informal name Königstiger ("Bengal Tiger"), often translated as King Tiger or Royal Tiger by Allied troops.
The Tiger II was the successor of the Tiger I, adding the Tiger I's thick armour with the sloped armour used on the Panther tank. The tank weighed almost seventy tonnes, it was protected by 100 - 180mm (3.9 to 7.1 inches) of armour at the front, and was armed with the long barrelled Kampfwagenkanone 8.8cm 43 L/71 gun.
The Tiger II was developed late in the war and built in relatively small numbers, with only 1500 Tiger II's actually ordered — this was marginally higher than the 1,347 of the earlier Tiger I tanks actually produced — but the Tiger II production was severely disrupted by Allied bombing.
The chassis was also the basis for the Jagdtiger tank destroyer.

Eduard Profipack 1:35 - Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf. B Tiger II - Plastic model kit #3715
The Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B, commonly known as Tiger II was a German heavy tank of WWII. It was first used on 11 July 1944 by the 503rd Heavy Panzer Battalion during the Allied Invasion of Normandy.
The Tiger II was produced in relatively small numbers - Allied bombing severely disrupted the production and caused the loss of over 600 tanks when the floor area of the Henschel plant was destroyed. Just under 500 Tiger II's were produced from 1943 til 1945.
The successor of the Tiger I, the Tiger II weighed almost 70 tonnes and was armed with an 8.8 cm KwK 43 L/71 anti-tank cannon. The tank's thick frontal armour and powerful long-range gun gave it a significant advantage against Western Allied and Soviet tanks.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - 5cm Pak (t) Sfl. auf Fgst. Pz. Kpfw. 35R 731 (f) - Plastic model kit #83808
The Renault R35 was a French light infantry tank produced from 1936 until 1940. The R35 became one of the most numerous French tanks captured by the Germans. Germany captured a total of 843 R35's, over a hundred of which were designated Panzerkampfwagen 35R 731 (f) and used by panzer units mainly for security duties or driver training. Most of the captured tanks were later converted into artillery tractors and ammunition carriers after the turret was removed.
Germans decided that R35's would be more useful on the battlefield if they were converted into self-propelled guns. Using the R35 chassis they built a 4.7 cm Pak(t) (Sfl) auf Fgst.Pz.Kpfw.35 R 731(f). This proved to be rather difficult because the chassis was even smaller than that of Panzer I Ausf.B, and the tank designed for two Frenchmen was now supposed to carry three German soldiers and a fairly large gun with ammunition. This new vehicle was not very successful in service especially in winter conditions, so a decision was made to improve it by changing the gun for a 5cm PaK 38. However this plan never came into action because of technical limitations, and the project was cancelled.

The German Molch was an 11 ton one-man midget submarine built in 1944. It was the first mini-submarine of the Kriegsmarine. The Molch was fully electrical, carried two G7e torpedoes - one on each side of the craft, and had a range of 64 km at 5 knots (9.3 km/h). 393 submarines were built in total, all by AG Weser in Bremen.
The Molch was first used to attack Allied battleships during the Allied Operation Dragoon. Ten out of the twelve submarines were lost and the remaining two were sunk by the Allies shortly after. In the following months the Molch was used in a number of operations but overall proved to be ineffective in combat and its use was reduced to training for more advanced submarines.

The Marder III ("Marder" means "marten" in English, named after the weasel like animal) was a family of German tank destroyers deployed from 1942 to 1945 on all fronts of the Second World War. It was based on the Panzer 38(t) featuring its chassis and a roofless fighting compartment. The main armament consisted of either Soviet 76-mm divisional field gun M1936, or German 75-mm Pak 40 anti-tank gun.
The Sd.Kfz.138 Ausf.M was the latest variant of the series armed with the Pak 40. Unlike the earlier models, it featured sloped armour and an improved fighting compartment which was closed in the rear ensuring better protection of the crew. The rear-mounted engine of the vehicle was replaced with an engine installed between the driver and the crew. That gave the crew more room in the fighting compartment decreasing their visibility and exposure to enemy fire. However, the compartment remained open-topped.
The crew of the Ausf.M included the commander, gunner, loader and driver. About 1,000 units of the Ausf.M were built between 1943 and 1944.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - German Sd.Kfz.182 King Tiger Porsche Turret w/ Zimmerit - Plastic model kit #84530
Development of the Tiger II heavy tank started in 1937 with design contracts given to Henschel and Porsche. Both companies used the same turret in their prototypes (designed by Krupp) but the tanks had differences in the hull, transmission and suspension systems. The Porsche design featured a rear-mounted turret and a mid-mounted engine, and the suspension was the same as on the Elefant. The Henschel version which was more conventional won the contract and all King Tigers were produced by the company.
Production vehicles used two turret designs. The initial turret had a rounded front, sloped sides and a curved bulge on the left side for commander's cupola which proved to be difficult to manufacture. This turret is often called 'Porsche turret' as opposed to the more common 'production turret' or 'Henschel turret'. Fifty King Tigers had received the early 'Porsche turret' before the design was simplified.
The production of King Tigers was disrupted by the Allied bombings with five raids in September and October 1944 alone destroying 95% of the floor area at the Henschel plant. Initially orders were placed for 1,500 King Tigers but only 492 units were produced until the end of the war.

The Flak 38 was a 2cm calibre light anti-aircraft gun used by the German army throughout the Second World War. This was an improved version of the Flak 30 with an increased rate of fire - from 120 to 220 RPM (rounds per minute) which increased the possible number of projectiles hitting the target. The 2cm Flak 38 entered service in 1940. It served alongside the Flak 30 and was also used by the Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine

The German term Flakpanzer was used for "anti-aircraft tanks" - modified tanks that were intended to target aircraft. The Flakpanzer I was a conversion of the Panzer I Ausf. A tank. It was developed in 1941 with an aim to create a mobile anti-aircraft vehicle that could follow the Panzer divisions.
The Flakpanzer I was armed with the 2 cm FlaK 38 L/112.5. The vehicle was capable of towing a Sonderanhänger 51 trailer which carried ammunition and spare barrels. The Flakpanzer I had a high rate of fire and accuracy, but it proved to be more useful against ground targets other than aircraft and was used mainly for infantry support. The insufficient armour resulted in high casualties and the only battalion that was equipped with the Flakpanzer I's was wiped out during the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943.

The first model of the Leichter Panzerspähwagen series, the Sd.Kfz.221 was a light four-wheel drive armoured car equipped with a 7.92 mm Maschinengewehr 13 machine gun and designed for carrying a two members crew. Later, the Maschinengewehr 13 was replaced with an anti-tank rifle Panzerbüchse 39 in order to increase the fire power. Due to its small size and thin armour the vehicle was recognised as inefficient; the production stopped in 1940 with over 300 vehicles produced for the army.

The Treaty of Versailles, signed at the end of WWI, forbade Germany to have or produce tanks and armoured fighting vehicles of any kind. However, the German Government managed to evade the Treaty provisions by authorising the production of 15 tank hulls without superstructures or turrets. Disguised as 'training vehicles' those tanks were aimed at military reinforcement of Germany.
The Ausf. A ohne Aufbau was one of the training vehicles designed at that time. Featuring an entirely open interior without a superstructure and turret, it had room for five crew members: a student driver, an instructor and three more observers behind them.

The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was a German light armoured car produced from 1935 until 1944. Germany developed several variants of this vehicle. The Sd. Kfz. 222 was an improved version of the Sd. Kfz. 221, armed initially with a 2cm KwK 30 L/55 and a 7.92mm MG 13. Later on the MG 13 machine gun was replaced by the Maschinengewehr 34, and the KwK 30 was replaced by the KwK 38 of the same calibre. This variant of the vehicle was called the Leichter Panzerspähwagen 2 cm. Its production ran from 1937 to 1943 with nearly a thousand vehicles built in total.
The Sd. Kfz. 222 proved to be very efficient in the Balkans in 1941. Large numbers of these armoured cars were also sent to North Africa, however the limited volume of their fuel tanks meant the lack of effective range. The Sd. Kfz. 222 was gradually substituted with the Sd.Kfz.250/9 (Hanomag). A small number of vehicles were sold to China in 1939.

The Steyr ADGZ was developed for the Austrian Army by Austro-Daimler (which later merged with Steyr Automobile) from 1934 and delivered to the army in 1935-1937. In "ADGZ", "AD" stands for "Austro-Daimler". Its Austrian designation was M35 Mittlere Panzerwagen. During the Anschluss - the annexation of Austria into Nazi Germany - the Austrian army had 12 ADGZ armoured cars in use, and 15 more were used by the police. The Germans started using the ADGZ for police work and some vehicles were used by the SS on the Eastern Front and the Balkans. In 1942, the SS received 25 additional ADGZ cars.
The ADGZ was suitable for both urban usage and for maneuvering off-road. It had 6mm armour and weighed 12 tons. Either end of the vehicle was capable of driving the unit: drivers could operate the vehicle from the front or the rear switching almost immediately due to the dual transmission.

The German tank destroyer Marder III was deployed from 1942 until 1945 on all fronts of the Second World War. The Marder used the chassis and the roofless fighting compartment of the Panzer 38(t). Its main armament was either the Soviet 76-mm divisional field gun M1936 or the German 75-mm Pak 40 anti-tank gun.
The Sd.Kfz.138 Ausf.M was the latest variant of the series armed with the 75mm Pak 40. Unlike the previous models, this variant featured sloped armour and an improved fighting compartment which was closed in the rear for better protection of the crew. The rear-mounted engine of the vehicle was replaced with an engine installed between the driver and the crew. This gave the crew more room in the fighting compartment decreasing their exposure to enemy fire. However, the compartment remained open-topped.
The crew of the Marder III Ausf.M included a commander, a gunner, a loader and a driver. About 1,000 units of the Ausf.M were built between 1943 and 1944.

The Panzerkampfwagen I was a light tank developed in Germany in the run-up to WWII. Abbreviated Pz. Kpfw. I, the tank was officially designated Sd.Kfz.101.
As Germany was restricted by the Treaty of Versailles in its military capability, the first tank prototypes were produced under the code name Landwirtschaftlicher Schlepper which meant 'Agricultural Tractor'. The prototypes were armed with two 7.92 mm MG 13 machine guns and were used as training vehicles by German armed troops.
The Ausf. A was the first combat vehicle of the Panzer I series. Its thin armour and suspension problems resulted in weak performance on the battlefield. However, the improved versions were in military service during all German campaigns between 1939 and 1941 including the Invasion of Poland and the Battle of France.
Although the Panzer I models were of little use against even the lightest tanks of that era, they contributed significantly to the development of German military production.

The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was a light four-wheel drive armoured car produced by Nazi Germany between 1935 and 1944. It had the standard sPkw I Horch 801 chassis and a 67 kW (90 hp) Horch 3.5 petrol engine, which gives it a road speed of 80 km/h and a cross-country speed of 40 km/h. The car had a maximum range of 300 km. Its armament consisted of one 2 cm KwK 30 L/55 main cannon and one MG 34 secondary machine gun.
The Leichter Panzerspähwagen was used by the reconnaissance battalions of the Panzer divisions. It performed well enough in countries with good road networks, like Western Europe, but on the Eastern Front and in North Africa it was hampered by its relatively poor off-road performance and was gradually replaced in the reconnaissance role by the Sdkfz 250 half-track.

The CCKW produced by General Motors Corporation was an American 2,5-ton 6x6 cargo truck that served with the US Army both in the Second World War and the Korean War. It was one of the main vehicles of the famous Red Ball Express that kept Allied armies supplied as they moved quickly through Europe after the D-Day.
The name CCKW comes from the GMC model nomenclature. Each letter describes vehicle features: "C" - designed in 1941, "C" - conventional cab, "K" - all-wheeled drive, "W" - dual rear axles. The CCKW was powered by a highly reliable GMC 270 engine which was designed for use in commercial trucks. One of the truck variants that used short wheel base was named the SWB 352.
The initial design featured a metal roof, and in 1944 GMC introduced open cab versions with a canvas roof. Some of those cabs allowed for mounting a machine gun above the passenger's seat.
The CCKW production stopped in 1945. By that time over 500,000 units were built. After the Second World War the surviving vehicles were widely used by the US Army until the mid-1960's.

The vehicles were built by several US manufacturers, including the White Motor Company, for the needs of the US military. Featuring a full metal cab at the early stage of production, late version was characterised by a soft top and a wooden truck body. All models were powered by a 202-hp engine and had a 4-speed manual gearbox. The White 666 Cargo truck remained in service throughout WWII and beyond.

The Flak 38(t) was a German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun of the Second World War. An improved version of the Flak 30, it was widely used by different German forces. Rheinmetall created the Flak 38 in order to improve the fire rate of the Flak 30. The Flak 38 had a fire rate of 220 rpm (compared to 120 rpm of its predecessor) and much lower weight. In 1939, the Flak 38 was recognised as the standard Army gun, but later on Mauser came up with its even lighter modification, the Gebirgsflak 38, which could be easily used against both air and surface targets.
