Minifigure – German Army (Heer) soldier from the World War II (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents a German Army (Heer) soldier from the World War II era, specifically equipped as a submachine gunner.

He is a generic character representing an infantryman whose primary weapon would be the MP40 submachine gun. This role was often filled by squad leaders (NCOs) or soldiers in assault teams (Stosstruppen), who required a high rate of fire for close-quarters combat.

The item in the picture is a single, detailed toy minifigure:

• His specific role is made instantly recognizable by the ammunition pouches printed on his webbing. He has two sets of three long pouches, which were specifically designed to hold the 32-round box magazines for the MP40 submachine gun.
• He is wearing a standard grey German field uniform and a Stahlhelm (steel helmet) with the Army eagle (Wehrmachtsadler) decal printed on the side.
• His printed equipment also includes a detailed leather belt with a buckle and Y-strap suspenders.
