Miniart 1:35 - German Feldgendarmerie Special Edition
£12.00 GBP
Miniart 1:35 - German Feldgendarmerie Special Edition - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35315
The Feldgendarmerie were military police units formed in the Napoleonic era by the armies of several German kingdoms - Saxony, Württemberg, Prussian and Bavaria - which later became parts of the German Empire. In peacetime the units served with the Prussian Gendarmerie as a mounted police.
Dissolved after the First World War, the Feldgendarmerie were reintroduced in 1933 when Hitler seized power. Personnel were trained in a special military school in Potsdam. Due to strict training conditions and high demands placed on the candidates, only a small number of soldiers managed to graduate and join the force.
Staying behind the theatre of operations during WWII, the Feldgendarmerie closely worked with the Geheime Feldpolizei (Secret Field Police) and SS in the rear. Their duties were to monitor traffic and population control, fight with partisans as well as arrest and execute rebellions. According to some historians, the Feldgendarmerie soldiers were also involved in war crimes and Jewish purges in occupied territories.
In the period between 1943 and 1945 the Feldgendarmerie were infamously known for chasing and executing deserters, many of which were wrongfully convicted. This gave the units a bad name "Kettenhunde" or "Chained Dogs" after the gorget they wore with their uniforms.

Miniart 1:35 - German Soldiers at Rest Special Edition
£13.00 GBP
Miniart 1:35 - German Soldiers at Rest - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35378
After the end of the First World War, the military forces of Germany called Reichswehr were limited to 100,000 soldiers under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. In 1935, the Nazi army was renamed the Wehrmacht which allowed the Third Reich to increase its military strength. The branches of the Wehrmacht were the Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy) and the Luftwaffe (air force). On the Wehrmacht recruitment posters the "ideal German soldier" was depicted as a blond and blue-eyed young man. Werner Goldberg, a German soldier, became the prototype of that image, however later he was "dismissed" after he had been found out to be half-Jewish. It is believed that the total number of soldiers who were recruited for service in the Wehrmacht during its existence from 1935 to 1945 constituted 18.2 million.

Miniart 1:35 Battle of the Bulge, Ardennes 1944
Sold Out
Miniart 1:35 - Battle of the Bulge, Ardennes 1944 - Plastic Figure Model Kit #35084
The Battle of the Bulge (16 December 1944 – 25 January 1945) was a major German offensive campaign launched through the densely forested Ardennes region of Wallonia in Belgium, France, and Luxembourg on the Western Front toward the end of World War II in Europe.
The surprise attack caught the Allied forces completely off guard. The Germans attacked a weakly defended section of the Allied line, taking advantage of heavily overcast weather conditions, which grounded the Allies' overwhelmingly superior air forces. Fierce resistance on the northern shoulder of the offensive around Elsenborn Ridge and in the south around Bastogne blocked German access to key roads to the northwest and west that they counted on for success. Columns of armour and infantry that were supposed to advance along parallel routes found themselves on the same roads. This and terrain that favoured the defenders threw the German advance behind schedule and allowed the Allies to reinforce the thinly placed troops. Improved weather conditions permitted air attacks on German forces and supply lines, which sealed the failure of the offensive. In the wake of the defeat, many experienced German units were left severely depleted of men and equipment, as survivors retreated to the defenses of the Siegfried Line.
The Germans' initial attack included 406,000 men, 1,214 tanks, tank destroyers, and assault guns, and 4,224 artillery pieces. These were reinforced a couple weeks later, bringing the offensive's total strength to around 450,000 troops. Between 67,200 and 125,000 of their men were killed, missing or wounded. For the Americans, with 610,000 involved in the battle, of whom 89,000 were casualties, including up to 19,000 killed, it was the largest and bloodiest battle fought by the United States in World War II.

Miniart 1:35 German Jagdpanzer SU-76(r) w/Crew
Sold Out
Miniart 1:35 - German Jagdpanzer SU-76(r) w/Crew - Plastic model kit #35053
It was common for the German army to use captured vehicles in battle. The SU-76 was a Soviet self-propelled gun used during and after World War II. Its German designation was Jagdpanzer SU-76. The SU-76 was based on a lengthened and widened version of the T-70 light tank chassis. Its simple construction made it the second most produced Soviet armoured vehicle of World War II, after the T-34 tank.
The SU-76M virtually replaced infantry tanks in the close support role. Its thin armour and open top made it vulnerable to antitank weapons, grenades, and small arms. Its light weight and low ground pressure gave it good mobility.
