This minifigure represents a submachine gunner from the elite Gebirgsjäger (mountain troops) of the German Army (Heer) during the World War II era. His identity as a “Gebirgsjäger” armed with an “MP40” is explicitly confirmed by the text at the bottom of the image.
He is a generic character representing a soldier specially trained for winter and alpine warfare. Armed with an MP40 submachine gun, he likely represents a squad leader (NCO) or an assault trooper within a ski unit, using the skis for rapid mobility across snow-covered battlefields like those in Norway or the Soviet Union.
The items in the picture consist of the detailed minifigure and his full set of specialized equipment:
- The toy minifigure is wearing a tan uniform suitable for mountain conditions. His headgear is a grey M43 field cap (Einheitsfeldmütze), which is printed with the edelweiss flower insignia—the iconic symbol of the Gebirgsjäger. His printed webbing is specifically designed for his role, featuring the distinctive pouches used to carry magazines for an MP40.
- His primary weapon is an MP40 submachine gun, a classic German weapon of the war, favored by NCOs and assault troops for its compactness and firepower.
- His specialized alpine mobility equipment includes a pair of light grey skis and a matching pair of ski poles.
