German infantry

The Wehrmacht ( 'defence force') was the unified armed forces of Germany from 1870–1918 and 1935 to 1946. It consisted of the Heer(army, the Kriegsmarine (navy) and the Luftwaffe (air force).The designation Wehrmacht for Nazi Germany's military replaced the previously used term,  and constituted the Third Reich’s efforts to rearm their nation.
Following Germany’s defeat in the ww1, they were relegated by the treaty to a limited army. One of Hitler’s most overt and audacious moves was the establishment of a mighty fighting force (the Wehrmacht), an army designed for imperial conquest. Fulfilling the Nazi regime’s long term goals (unknown to their neighbors) of global conquest required massive investment and spending in the German armaments industry and conscription to properly man the Führer’s military machine. In December 1941, Hitler named himself commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht.
Along with the Kriegsmarine and the Luftwaffe, the Wehrmacht formed the heart of Germany’s politico-military apparatus. Hitler's generals successfully employed the Wehrmacht using innovative combined arms tactics (close cover air-support, mechanized armor, and infantry) to devastating effect in a method of war called Blitzkrieg (lightning war). The Wehrmacht and the German military juggernaut incorporated a new military structure,unique combat techniques, new-found weapons, and an unprecedented speed and brutality against their opponents.
At the height of their success in 1942, the Germans dominated upwards of 3,898,000 square kilometers of territory,an accomplishment made possible by the combined German forces with the Wehrmacht firmly securing conquered territory. Working hand-in-hand at times with the SS, soldiers on the front (especially during the Eastern campaign) participated in various war atrocities, despite claims otherwise.By the time the war in Europe ended in May 1945, the Wehrmacht had lost approximately 11,300,000 men.Only a few members of the Wehrmacht’s upper leadership were tried for war crimes after World War II, notwithstanding the evidence which made many more culpable.More or less deconstructed by September 1945, the Wehrmacht was officially dissolved by ACC Law 34 on 20 August 1946.

Very nice details on conte figures, i bought them painted so the paint job is not excellent, i just redo the helmet to a darker grey, this figures from this part are rare.
