Minifigure – German Afrika Korps soldier with MP40 submachine gun from World War II (LEGO Alternative)

Items in the image:

• Minifigure: A building block figure is depicted, dressed in a military uniform. The details include:
  • A helmet, likely a Stahlhelm, in a tan or desert color, with a cloth cover or textured paint.
  • A printed face with a mustache and blue eyes.
  • An olive green tunic with printed details:
    • Collar tabs (Litzen) and shoulder board insignia.
    • What appears to be a medal ribbon bar above the left pocket.
    • A belt with a buckle, over which are worn ammunition pouches for a submachine gun.
    • An armband on the right arm with “APS” or similar lettering, possibly an abbreviation or unit marking.
  • Olive green legs with printing for dark brown boots.
• Accessories:
  • A separate tile displaying an emblem: a stylized, coiled snake or dragon within a circular border, possibly on a palm tree background, which is characteristic of some German Afrika Korps unit insignia or tropical emblems.
  • A stick grenade, likely a German Stielhandgranate.
  • A submachine gun, which appears to be a German MP40.

Identity of the figure:

Based on the helmet style, the MP40 submachine gun, the Stielhandgranate, the uniform details (including ammunition pouches and insignia style), and the separate emblem tile often associated with tropical or desert campaigns, the figure represents a German soldier from World War II. Given the tan-colored helmet and the nature of the emblem, it’s highly probable this figure is intended to be a soldier from the Afrika Korps. The metadata hint “Afrika Korps” aligns with this assessment.
