WW2 German Heer Rifleman (mid-late war)

United Bricks premium printed LEGO® Minifigs.

The riflemen formed the assault part of the squad on the offense, supported by covering fire by the MG team, allowing them to close in on enemy positions or get within range to use hand grenades. 

The military strength of the German Army was managed through mission-based tactics (Auftragstaktik) rather than detailed order-based tactics, and rigid discipline. Once an operation began, whether offensive or defensive, speed of response to changing circumstances was considered more important than careful planning and co-ordination of new plans. Particular focus was given to encouraging subordinates to use their initiative and to react to developments on the battlefield.

In 1942, to meet the high demand for uniforms, the felbluse (field tunic) was modified again to save on materials and production time, and was seen in use until the end of the war.

United Bricks historical minifigures are printed on genuine brand new LEGO parts using a high quality UV printing method.
