18Minifigure – Spanish volunteer soldier from the famous Blue Division División Azul 2 (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents another version of a Spanish volunteer soldier from the Blue Division (División Azul), who fought as part of the German Army on the Eastern Front during World War II. This character is also a generic infantryman from that unit, but is depicted with different equipment from other versions.

His identity as a member of this unique formation is established by the combination of his German-style uniform and helmet with the national flag of Spain from that historical period.

The items in the picture consist of the detailed minifigure and a flag accessory:

• The toy minifigure is depicted wearing a German splinter pattern camouflage (Splittermuster) smock over his grey field trousers. This type of camouflage was commonly issued to German Army soldiers to improve concealment. He is also wearing a German M35/M40 Stahlhelm (steel helmet) and has printed webbing with ammunition pouches.
• The flag accessory is the national flag of Spain that was used during the Francoist period (1938-1945). It features the Spanish coat of arms, which at that time included the Eagle of Saint John, centered on the traditional Spanish red and yellow stripes. This is distinct from the Falange party flag shown with other figures.
