FOB058 – Wehrmacht Marching Rifleman | King & Country
FOB058 “Wehrmacht Marching Rifleman” depicts a German infantryman advancing on foot with his rifle carried at the ready, representing the ordinary soldiers who formed the backbone of the Wehrmacht during the early campaigns of the Second World War.
The figure is particularly well suited to King & Country’s Fields of Battle range, where it can be used to recreate the German advances through Poland, the Low Countries and France during 1939–40. Marching infantry figures such as FOB058 help give a display a greater sense of movement, especially when grouped together in a road column, village scene or alongside officers and support vehicles.
Despite the increasing importance of mechanised warfare, the majority of German infantry still moved on foot for much of the war. Soldiers were expected to cover considerable distances while carrying their weapons, ammunition and personal equipment, often following armoured and motorised formations as the front moved rapidly forward.
FOB058 captures this everyday but essential aspect of the German Army, making it an excellent companion to other marching Wehrmacht figures from the same series. Its straightforward pose also makes it a versatile addition to larger dioramas, whether depicting troops moving toward the front, passing through an occupied town or assembling with their unit.
