Historical Context: During World War II, maintaining warmth and dryness was crucial for infantrymen. The figurine sports a dismounted raincoat, introduced in 1938 and crucial in the European Theater of Operations (ETO). Initially crafted from cotton canvas with a rubberized coating, these raincoats evolved by 1942 to include synthetic resin coatings, freeing up rubber for other wartime uses. Although ponchos were later issued as a cost-effective alternative, the raincoat remained a favored choice among the troops for its effective protection against the elements.
