Zvezda 3621 German Volkssturm, Berlin 1945 (1/35)

Zvezda 3621 German Volkssturm, Berlin 1945 is a high-quality plastic model kit in the popular 1:35 scale, allowing you to recreate a historical scene from the final days of World War II. The set features figures representing the German Volkssturm—volunteer units which comprised the last line of defense of Berlin in April 1945. This model is an excellent choice for both advanced historical modelers and diorama collectors interested in the Second World War period.

The Volkssturm was formed in Germany by Adolf Hitler in September 1944 as a desperate attempt to mobilize civilian resources to face the advancing Allied offensive. Volkssturm units were mainly composed of men not eligible for regular military service—people aged 16 to 60. They were often poorly trained, inadequately armed, and equipped with basic gear sourced from demobilization or warehouse reserves. The Zvezda 3621 set provides historically accurate weapons characteristic for Volkssturm, such as Mauser rifles, Panzerfausts, as well as improvised uniforms and civilian clothing modified for front-line use.
