The Red Army had 303 divisions (4.8 million troops) at the time
Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941. The Red Army suffered
terrible defeats before the tide began to turn with such historic
victories as the Battle of Stalingrad. A total of 29.5 million men were
conscripted into the army during the Great Patriotic War, and when WWII
finally ended, the Soviets had the most powerful ground force in the
history of mankind. The Red Army had more tanks and artillery than all
other countries combined! Dragon’s latest 1/35 figure set depicts
combat-proven Red Army soldiers fighting in 1944-45 near the end of the
conflict.
This is the very first Soviet Gen2 set,
and what a set it is! The four figures are from a Guards infantry unit,
and after a fierce battle against German defenders they share a bottle
of vodka in a moment of calm. Each soldier is wearing an M1940 helmet,
and they are clad in a Telogreika (winter jacket), breeched and boots.
These finely sculpted figures possess a mini-arsenal, with a whole
range of exciting weapons reproduced to Gen2 standards. Weapons include
the famous PPSh41 submachine gun, DP28 light machine gun, PPS43,
and even a captured German panzerfaust. This figure set is portrayed in
incredibly lifelike poses, and will find applications in all sorts of
scenes. They could be displayed in a stand-alone vignette, or combined
with one of Dragon’s new Soviet tanks that have recently appeared on
the market. The possibilities are endless for these superbly molded
soldiers, made all the more appealing by their incomparable Gen2 level
of quality!
