Minifigure – German “Trench Raider” General (Zombie/Apocalypse Version) WWI (LEGO Compatible)

The Figure: WWI German “Trench Raider” General (Zombie/Apocalypse Version)

This image displays a fully equipped toy minifigure representing a German General from World War I, depicted in a terrifying “Weird War” or “Zombie” combat scenario. This appears to be the fully assembled version of the body seen in previous images (SKU-06), now equipped for brutal close-quarters combat.

• Headgear & Face: The figure wears a dark grey Stahlhelm (Steel Helmet), the iconic German combat helmet. Instead of a human face, he wears a full Gas Mask with large circular eye lenses and a breathing filter. This gives him a faceless, menacing, and dehumanized appearance, typical of “Stormtrooper” or “Undead” themes.

• Uniform & Rank: He wears the Field Grey (Feldgrau) Officer’s Tunic. The most critical detail identifying his rank is the broad Red Stripe (Lampassen) running down the side of his trousers. Historically, this indicated a General Officer. The contrast between his high rank and his savage equipment suggests a complete collapse of command where even generals are fighting in the mud.

• Weapons: He holds a massive black Spiked Mace (or Trench Club). These medieval-looking weapons were actually used extensively in WWI trench raids for silent, brutal hand-to-hand combat where rifles were too long to use effectively.

• Tactical Gear: His torso print details a desperate loadout:

  • Iron Cross 1st Class: Visible on his chest.

  • Grenades: Stick grenades are tucked into his belt.

  • Spare Gas Mask: Curiously, the print shows a second gas mask hanging around his neck, adding to the chaotic, scavenger aesthetic of the figure.

Historical & Thematic Background: While the Trench Club and Gas Mask are historically accurate tools of the First World War, combining them with a General’s Uniform creates a specific narrative often found in “Dieselpunk” or “Zombie Army” fiction.

• Historical Reality: Trench clubs were improvised by soldiers using wood and cogwheels or nails. They were weapons of desperation and savagery.

• Fictional Context: This figure represents a “Last Stand” scenario—a high-ranking commander who has donned a gas mask and picked up a club to fight off waves of enemies (or zombies) in the ruins of the trenches.
