Additional Information:

• Historical Context: This figurine represents a U.S. infantryman during the later stages of World War II. As supplies ran low, both sides repurposed captured weapons. The Wehrmacht, for instance, used captured M1 carbines as Selbstladekarabiner 455(a). Similarly, American soldiers occasionally used the German Panzerfaust, a highly effective anti-tank weapon. Compared to the U.S. bazooka, the Panzerfaust produced a larger hole and had a devastating effect on the tank's crew through burns and shrapnel. Post-D-Day, 34% of British tanks hit were by Panzerfausts, with that number rising to about 70% on the Eastern Front.
• Collector's Appeal: Ideal for military history enthusiasts and collectors of World War II memorabilia, this piece offers a realistic portrayal of the improvisation and adaptability of soldiers. The detailed depiction of the uniform and captured Panzerfaust highlights the diverse equipment used in the heat of battle.
