Our 1/35 scale range of military personnel figures contains, beside many others, also quite astonishing figures designed to accompany the Hetzer tank destroyer model. In total, there are five figures which were developed using period photographs of Hetzer crews retreating through East Bohemian towns in the spring of 1945. These figures can of course be used with any other late war Wehrmacht vehicle. All of them, cat. nos. F35260, F35261, F35262, F35263 and F35370 are available via our e-shop  here .

   The war is over. Everyone knows it, no-one has the guts to say it aloud though. Troops retreating. Just do not fall into Russian hands at any cost. Fritz is glad to be sitting. Barricades in Prague, plenty of them. The Russians are close, damn close, but the truce has been agreed with the Resistance. Good for him to be alive, just sitting on a Hetzer... This figure of a tired to death German soldier is based on a series of photographs showing a Hetzer column retreating through French Street in Prague in May 1945. The poor guy is wearing a Luftwaffe uniform, not that he would belong to that force, it is just the end of the war and there is shortage of everything, even a proper uniform, so you must be glad with what you get even if it is superfluous Luftwaffe gear. The figure, cat.no. F35370 is available via our e-shop here .
