This minifigure represents a German officer serving in the famed Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK), also known as the German Africa Corps, during the North African Campaign of World War II (1941-1943).
The character is a generic officer, not a specific historical person like Field Marshal Rommel, but his attire is very specific to that theater of war. He is depicted as a calm and professional commander.
The items in the picture consist of the detailed minifigure and his sidearm:
- The toy minifigure is wearing the tropical uniform of the Afrika Korps. This includes the tan-colored M43 field cap (Feldmütze) and a matching tunic and trousers, which were designed for combat in the harsh desert environment. He has detailed printed webbing with ammunition pouches.
- The weapon he is holding is a brown accessory representing a Luger P08 pistol, one of the most iconic German sidearms of the era and a common weapon for officers.
(Please note: The red apple-shaped characters are stickers that have been digitally added to the photo and are not part of the actual product.)
