The Italeri 1/72 German Elite Troops WWII kit (HC-6068) presents late-war German units from the Ardennes Offensive of December 1944. The figures are depicted with the innovative Sturmgewehr 44, widely regarded as a precursor to modern assault rifles.

Historical Context

On 16 December 1944, German forces launched the Wacht am Rhein offensive through the Ardennes, Belgium, against the First U.S. Army. Elite formations from the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS took part, with the fighting reaching its height around Bastogne on 21 December, where the 101st Airborne Division held the town under siege.

Highlights

  • 1/72 scale representation of German elite troops from late WWII
  • Figures depicted with Sturmgewehr 44 (StG 44)
  • Useful for recreating Ardennes and Bastogne winter 1944 scenes

This Italeri set focuses on a pivotal chapter of World War II, offering a concise snapshot of the units and equipment seen during the Battle of the Bulge.

On 16th December, 1944, the German forces moved through the forests of the Ardennes, in Belgium, to attach the First U.S. Army. This was the Wehrmacht's last offensive on the western front before the final surrender in 1945. The “Wacht am Rhein” plan envisaged, on the part of General Von Rundstedt , the use of many elite units of Wehrmacht and of Waffen SS. The climax of the offensive was the siege of Bastogne, on December 21st, 1944. The town was defended by the 101st Airborne Division. The models in this kit are equipped with the innovative Sturmgewehr 44 which can be considered the precursor of today's assault rifles.
