Minifigure – German soldier from the final months of World War II (LEGO Compatible)

This image displays a toy minifigure and accessories representing a German soldier from the final months of World War II (1945), equipped with the revolutionary Leibermuster M45 camouflage.

The figure is depicted in a full combat uniform—tunic, trousers, and helmet cover—all printed with the distinctive Leibermuster pattern. This was a complex, multi-layered camouflage featuring irregular splotches of green, tan, and rust-brown under a carbon-black “branch” pattern on a light background. Over his uniform, the figure wears printed black leather infantry webbing with ammunition pouches.

The set includes these key accessories:

• Karabiner 98k Rifle: The figure is accompanied by a toy replica of the standard German service rifle.
• M43 Field Cap: An alternative headgear option is provided: a standard grey M43 field cap (Einheitsfeldmütze) with Wehrmacht insignia.

Historical Background: The Leibermuster M45 was the most advanced camouflage pattern developed by Germany during World War II. It was a radical design intended to become the new standard camouflage for the entire German armed forces (both the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS), replacing all other patterns. Scientifically developed, it was the first camouflage in history designed to also provide concealment against early active-infrared night vision devices. However, due to the collapse of the German war effort, the pattern was only produced in very limited quantities and saw extremely limited issue to frontline troops in the final months of the war in 1945, mostly on the Eastern Front. This figure represents one of the very few soldiers to have worn what was the pinnacle of WWII camouflage technology.
