Minifigure – German Fallschirmjäger paratrooper soldier World War II era (LEGO Alternative)

This LEGO minifigure appears to represent a German Fallschirmjäger (paratrooper) from the World War II era.

Here’s a breakdown of the visual evidence:

• Helmet: The figure wears a helmet that resembles the German M38 paratrooper helmet, which had a more compact design than the standard Stahlhelm and lacked the projecting visor and flared rim. A similar helmet piece is also shown separately.
• Uniform: The camouflage pattern on the smock (often called a “Knochensack” or “bone sack” in its early forms) and trousers is characteristic of those used by German Fallschirmjäger. The specific pattern seems to be a rendition of “Splittertarn” (splinter pattern) or a similar camouflage used by these elite troops. The figure also has web gear and what appears to be a pistol holster.
• Weapon: The weapon depicted next to the minifigure is a detailed representation of a German machine gun, likely an MG 34 or MG 42, both of which were widely used by German forces, including paratroopers.

Considering these elements—the distinctive paratrooper helmet, the camouflage smock, and the German machine gun—the figure is most likely intended to be a German Fallschirmjäger from World War II.
