Minifigure – German Lieutenant (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents a German Lieutenant, likely from a Waffen-SS unit, during the later period of World War II (c. 1943-1945). The character is a generic front-line officer, not a specific historical person. His elite status is suggested by his camouflage uniform and advanced weaponry.

A very important and unique feature of this figure is the panda bear insignia printed on his cap and shoulder. This is a fictional and non-historical element. No German military unit in World War II used a panda emblem. This makes the character a fantasy or “what-if” creation, blending a historical appearance with a modern, creative design choice by the toy manufacturer.

The items in the picture consist of the detailed minifigure and his weapon:

The toy minifigure is wearing a full camouflage uniform, including a field cap (Feldmütze) and a combat smock. The figure has printed webbing and ammunition pouches for his assault rifle.

His weapon is an accessory representing the Sturmgewehr 44 (StG 44). This was a revolutionary German weapon, considered by historians to be the world’s first true assault rifle. Its presence accurately places the character in the late-war period when this weapon was issued to front-line troops.
