Waffen SS Kneeling

This is toy soldier figurine Waffen SS Kneeling with K98, 1941-45

This figurine captures a Waffen SS Grenadier in a kneeling position, equipped with a Karabiner 98k and adorned in a reversible camouflage helmet cover and smock. The design features green summer and brown autumn patterns, indicative of the innovative camouflage techniques developed during WWII. Created by Johann Georg Otto Schick, these patterns were unique to the Waffen SS and reflected the evolving tactics of concealment on the battlefield. Initially hand-screen printed, the demand for these camouflages during the war led to the adoption of more efficient machine roller-printing techniques. This model showcases the Oak Leaf A pattern, introduced in 1941, which remained in service alongside other distinctive patterns until the end of the war.
