Minifigure – an officer from the elite Gebirgsjäger (mountain troops) of the German Army (Heer) during the World War II (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents an officer from the elite Gebirgsjäger (mountain troops) of the German Army (Heer) during the World War II era. His unit is explicitly identified as “Gebirgsjäger” in the text at the bottom of the image.

He is a generic character representing a commander of these specially trained and equipped light infantry. The Gebirgsjäger were masters of alpine warfare, renowned for their skills and resilience in the mountains of Europe, from Norway to the Caucasus. While the text identifies him with a “98K” rifle, his uniform is that of an officer, with a shirt and tie visible at the collar.

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

• The toy minifigure is wearing an officer’s service uniform with printed leather Y-strap suspenders and a belt. His headgear is a grey M43 field cap (Einheitsfeldmütze), often called a “mountain cap,” which is printed with the edelweiss flower insignia—the iconic and cherished symbol of the Gebirgsjäger.
• His primary weapon is a Karabiner 98k (Kar98k) rifle, the standard rifle for the German military.
• A second key accessory is an ice axe, the classic mountaineering tool that is emblematic of the Gebirgsjäger and their specialized alpine expertise.
