This minifigure represents a German machine gunner serving in a Luftwaffe (Air Force) ground unit during the harsh winter campaigns of World War II. As your description notes, this is a German winter air force figure (德冬季空军).
He is a generic character representing a key member of an infantry squad. The German military’s tactics relied heavily on the machine gun, and this soldier would have been responsible for providing the primary firepower for his unit. His equipment is specialized for both his role as a gunner and for survival in the winter environment.
The item in the picture is a single, detailed toy minifigure designed to look like a soldier in full winter gear:
- His Stahlhelm (steel helmet) is covered in a heavily weathered whitewash camouflage pattern, with printing that shows chips and wear from combat.
- He is wearing a padded white winter parka, which was the reversible snow camouflage side of the standard German winter uniform.
- His specific role as a machine gunner is made instantly recognizable by the belt of machine gun ammunition that is printed as if it is draped over his shoulders.
- His head is printed with winter goggles and a white balaclava or head wrap for protection from the elements.
