SS188
Thomas Gunn Miniatures
Not yet released - expected in mid-November.
Operated the main gun, aimed, and fired under the commander's direction. Dressed fully in the black tanker uniform he awaits orders whilst scanning ground for the enemy.
A distinctive black uniform: The most recognizable item of clothing for early war panzer crews was the black, double-breasted Panzer wrap jacket. The black colour helped to hide oil and grease stains.
SS panzer divisions often acted as tactical "fire brigades," rushed to block an enemy advance, defend a critical position, or spearhead a counter-attack.
