Re: Italians in winter dress

Ilike the blue grey. I hope that's the final color.
I remember a long time a go now, when most Germans were done in Blue-grey.

Re: Italians in winter dress

Great looking figures - but shouldn't there be a
surrendering pose?

Not much fun, knowing that most of them died of extreme low temperatures even before having the chance to surrender. You know, when your government sends you to Russia without decent winter clothing you don't stand many chances at -30 °C.
Many soldiers managed to walk back hundreds of km in the snow to reach the axis lines, most of them lost some fingers of even a limb to the bitter cold. Relatively few decided to surrender.
My uncle was one of the survivors, never had the heart to speak of what he witnessed during that retreat.

Re: Italians in winter dress

These figures are very good! STRELETS:Now would be a good time to re-issue the RKKA and WINTER WAR RUSSIANS in GREEN to go along with these new sets and please consider making a new set of [STRELETS STYLE WW2 GERMANS IN GRAY].This would be an exciting series to set up! THANK YOU! CAPPY
