This minifigure represents a Sanitätsoffizier, which translates to Medical Officer, serving in the German Kriegsmarine (Navy) during the World War II era. His identity is explicitly confirmed by the text in the image.
He is a generic character representing a naval doctor. These commissioned officers were responsible for the health and medical treatment of sailors on all types of naval vessels, from U-boats to battleships, as well as at shore-based facilities. This figure is depicted wearing his formal mess dress uniform, which was the naval equivalent of a tuxedo and would be worn at official dinners and social functions.
The items in the picture consist of the detailed minifigure and his accessory:
- The toy minifigure is wearing a dark blue officer’s mess dress jacket over a white waistcoat and white bow tie.
- His specific role as a doctor is indicated by the Rod of Asclepius (a snake coiled around a staff) trade badge printed on his upper left sleeve. This is the traditional symbol of medicine.
- His tunic is also decorated with printed medals, including the ribbon for the Iron Cross and a high award at the collar.
- This is the “Hairstyle version” of the figure, meaning he is depicted hatless with a molded brown hairpiece.
- The accessory he is holding is a clear goblet or wine glass, which is appropriate for the formal mess dinner setting implied by his uniform.
