DD401
King & Country
Not Yet Released - Expected Mid to Late August
This soldier carries the SCR-300 portable backpack radio developed for the U.S. Army by Motorola. It had an effective range up to 3 miles with a short whip antenna.
For personal defense this Radio Operator also carries an M1 Carbine.
Obviously this is not the first time that K&C has produced D.Day period American GIs but it may be the first time they have portrayed them with the ‘Indian Head’ shoulder patch of the 2nd U.S. Infantry Division.
They have called this little group of GIs 'American Patrol' after one of the most famous and popular melodies of WW2 made famous by the Glenn Miller Orchestra.
