FJ Field Radio Operator
This Fallschirmjager is carrying and using the man-portable field radio always essential while troops are on the move.
His personal weapon is the ‘Karibiner 98K Rifle’. This is part of the first batch of our fighting German ‘Fallschirmjagers’ (paratroopers) making their way through the Normandy ‘bocage’ and moving towards the landing grounds of their U.S. Airborne opponents in the hours and days following the Allied invasion of June 6, 1944.
Few of the fighting men of WW2 captured the imagination and respect of even their enemies as much as the Luftwaffe’s ‘Fallschirmjagers’. Boldness and courage were the hallmarks of their airborne training and battlefield performance. These latest FJ’s are uniformed as they would have appeared in France and North West Europe at the time of the invasion and afterwards.

Good communications on the battlefield is vitally important. This paratrooper, while still on the move, listens in to some instructions. He is also armed with the Karabiner 98k rifle.

The Radio Operator
Kneeling on the ground this ‘Grunt’ holds his PRC25 radio handset in his right hand and his M16 in the other... This figure is based on a great combat photograph taken during the battle.

SS Radio Operator
Part of the latest "Breakfast Club", check out these figures as they grab something to eat and drink on a cold winter morning, could be the Ardennes Forest in the winter of 1944, or one of the three previous winters fighting and then retreating across the great Russian expanse, waiting for the onslaught they knew was surely coming.
