Minifigure – US Army Lieutenant commander General Omar Bradley (LEGO Compatible)

This image displays a toy minifigure representing General Omar Bradley, one of the most prominent and respected American army commanders of World War II.

The figure is depicted in the field uniform of a high-ranking U.S. Army general. He is wearing an M1 Helmet with the three white stars of a Lieutenant General, the rank Bradley held during the Normandy campaign. His uniform consists of an M1944 “Ike” field jacket over a shirt and tie, with a leather officer’s belt and pistol holster.

Two key insignia confirm his identity:

• First U.S. Army Patch: On his left shoulder is the insignia of the First United States Army (a black letter “A” on a blue and red shield), which he commanded during the D-Day landings.
• Rank Insignia: The three stars on his helmet clearly denote his rank as a commanding general.

He is holding a printed tile that acts as a prop, commemorating the “D-DAY NORMANDY 06-06-44” invasion and featuring the insignia of famous American divisions like the 1st Infantry and 101st Airborne.

Historical Background: Omar Bradley (1893-1981) was a senior U.S. Army field commander who had a central role in the Allied victory. Known as the “G.I.’s General” for his calm demeanor and genuine concern for his soldiers, he commanded the First U.S. Army during Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy. His troops were responsible for the landings on Omaha Beach and Utah Beach on D-Day. After the breakout from Normandy, he was promoted to command the 12th Army Group, the largest single American field command ever formed, which played a vital role in the final defeat of Germany.
