German elite troops

The Waffen-SS , Armed SS) was created as the armed wing of the nazi party's (SS, "Protective Squadron"), and gradually developed into a multi-ethnic and multi-national military force of nazi germany.
The Waffen-SS grew from three regiments to over 38 divisions during ww2, and served alongside the Heer (regular army) but was never formally part of it.Adolf Hitler resisted integrating the Waffen-SS into the army, as it was to remain the armed wing of the Party and to become an elite police force once the war was won. Prior to the war, it was under the control of the SS (SS operational command office) beneath Heinrich Himmler. Upon mobilization its tactical control was given to the High Command of the Armed Forces .
Initially membership was only open to people of Germanic "Aryan" origin, who were said to be the master race. The rules were partially relaxed in 1940, although groups considered by Nazis to be "sub-human" like ethnic Poles or Jews remained excluded Hitler authorized the formation of units composed largely or solely of foreign troops. Foreign SS units were made up from recruits in Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarussia, Belgium (both Wallonia and Flanders), Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Galicia, Georgia, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia (including Cossaack and Tatar, Turkic SSR Republics), Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, Asian Regiment, Arab Regiment, USA (15-20 volunteers) and a small number of British troops, with the latter unit being a significant propaganda tool.

Toy soldiers of san diego(TSSD) German long coats

I have mix feelings about this set, the good feelings is that the set is in perfect detail, the bad feeling is that some poses are in a very bad off balance, i bought this set and in come in 16 pieces, of 8 poses, the other 8 poses are nearly touching the ground of the off balance, i don't know if it is the company i bought them or they are like this in general. About the set, i really like the sniper, the machine gun running, and the machine gun up 2 pose from left.I put them with the waffen ss to gain more poses here, and they go well in cold winter Russia with captured long coats.
