3Minifigure – German Army combat medic World War II era (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents a German Army combat medic from the World War II era. The image text labels him with the German word “Helfer,” which means “Helper” or “Assistant.” In a military context, this would refer to a medical assistant or orderly (Sanitätshelfer).

He is a generic character representing the soldiers who were tasked with providing first aid and rescuing the wounded on the battlefield. His role is made unmistakable by the numerous red cross symbols he displays, which were intended to identify him as protected, non-combatant personnel under the Geneva Conventions.

The items in the picture consist of the detailed minifigure and his medical bag:

• The toy minifigure is wearing a standard grey German Army (Heer) field uniform with printed webbing. His face is printed with a stubble beard and cuts, showing that he is in the midst of combat.
• His Stahlhelm (steel helmet) is marked with both the German Army eagle (Wehrmachtsadler) decal on the side and a red cross decal on the front for clear identification.
• He also wears a white armband with a red cross on his left arm.
• The accessory he is carrying is a tan medic’s satchel or aid bag, which is also marked with a red cross. This bag would have been filled with essential medical supplies to treat wounded soldiers on the front line.
