Dragon 6240 German Inf. (Battle of Hedgerows 1944) – 1:35 Scale German Infantry Figure Set

The Dragon 6240 German Inf. (Battle of Hedgerows 1944) is a high-quality plastic model figure kit depicting German infantry during the fighting in the hedgerows (bocage) of Normandy in 1944. The 1:35 scale makes this product an ideal choice for modelers interested in World War II themes, and the exceptional attention to detail allows for the creation of a realistic diorama or an impressive addition to larger armored vehicle sets.

Historical Background and Use

After the Allied landings in Normandy in June 1944 (Operation Overlord), German Wehrmacht infantry units and Waffen-SS formations put up fierce resistance in the so-called "bocage country," where dense networks of trees and shrubs hindered the progress of mechanized forces. It was during these battles that some of the most intense fighting of the Western Front in World War II took place, requiring soldiers to excel in camouflage and close-quarters combat. This Dragon set reflects the appearance of German soldiers in characteristic summer uniforms with the equipment used during this period, allowing for authentic recreation of 1944 scenes.
