DD404 - AP The Scout

DD404 – AP The Scout

Before an infantry platoon advanced, someone had to move forward first. Scouts were entrusted with one of the most dangerous responsibilities on the battlefield—locating enemy positions, identifying safe routes and warning their comrades of hidden dangers.

Working quietly ahead of the main force, the scout relied upon sharp observation, experience and quick decision-making. In Normandy, every hedgerow, orchard or ruined farmhouse had the potential to conceal German troops, making reconnaissance a hazardous but essential task.

King & Country's DD404 "AP The Scout" portrays an alert American infantryman carefully searching the ground ahead as he leads his comrades through hostile territory. His cautious stance perfectly reflects the tension experienced by soldiers operating at the very front of the advance.

Available to purchase through The Military Workshop website, DD404 is an outstanding addition to any Normandy display and pairs beautifully with the advancing riflemen, officers and support troops in the series.
