This image shows a custom building block minifigure representing a British volunteer soldier who served with the German military during World War II in the unit known as the British Free Corps (Britisches Freikorps).
The character is wearing the standard field grey (feldgrau) uniform of the German army. Over his tunic, he is equipped with a distinctive tan-colored chest rig held on by a Y-strap harness. This rig contains multiple integrated ammunition pouches. A red and white flash is visible on the belt buckle area, and an Iron Cross ribbon is printed on the tunic. The minifigure’s head is printed with an intense, shouting expression, and he has a sculpted dark-colored hairpiece. His legs are printed with gaiters over his trousers.
Based on his specialized equipment, particularly the chest rig which allows for easy access to a large amount of ammunition, this soldier could be guessed to be a stormtrooper, assault trooper, or a paratrooper (Fallschirmjäger). These roles often required soldiers to carry more ammunition for automatic weapons in fast-moving, aggressive combat situations, and such chest rigs were sometimes used by these specialized forces.
