Dragon 1/35 German Das Reich Division, France 1940 6309

The Dragon 1/35 German Das Reich Division, France 1940 is a plastic model kit in the Dragon WW2 Military Plastic Models range. This release of the Dragon German Das Reich Division shows four German plastic figures from Das Reich as they would typically have appeared in the French campaign. They are supplied with a comprehensive and detailed set of personal equipment and personal weapons (including the Kar98k, MP40 submachine gun, Panzerbchse 39 antitank rifle). They come in very casual poses as they enjoy a bite to eat or a welcome drink after a long march, or perhaps they are relaxing after an intense firefight. A particularly unique feature of these Dragon Das Reich Division plastic figures is the camouflage smocks they are wearing, for such apparel wasn�t widespread at this stage of the war. One of the most famous German divisions of WWII was Das Reich, composed of some of the best-trained and battle-hardened troops the nation could provide. Its famous symbol was the wolfs hook (or Wolfsangel) rune. First combat for the division was the Western campaign in 1940. Das Reich was involved in the drive towards the Dutch city of Rotterdam, before subsequently transferring to France and attacking towards the French capital. By tje end of this Blitzkrieg campaign, the Das Reich Division had advanced as far as the Spanish border.
