The set is designed by the renowned Ukrainian company ICM, highly regarded by modelers worldwide for its excellent price-to-quality ratio and attention to historical detail.

Historical Information and Application

The model depicts a universal German patrol from 1939-1942, i.e. from the period of the campaigns in Poland and France, during operations in the Balkans, and the initial fighting on the Eastern Front. During this time, German patrols were the basic reconnaissance units in Wehrmacht ground operations. Their task was both to detect the enemy and to control the terrain and collect tactical information. The figures in the set are soldiers in characteristic field uniforms – some equipped with Kar98k rifles and light submachine guns, as well as typical gear such as bread bags, canteens, and gas masks, which makes the model extremely realistic and faithful to historical reality.
