Minifigure – Italian partisan fighter Garibaldi Brigade Brigata Garibaldi World War II (LEGO Compatible)

This minifigure represents an Italian partisan fighter from a “Garibaldi Brigade” (Brigata Garibaldi) during the Italian Resistance (1943-1945) in the later years of World War II. The text in the image explicitly confirms this identity, with “加里波第旅战士” (Jiālǐbōdì lǚ zhànshì) meaning “Garibaldi Brigade Soldier.”

The Garibaldi Brigades were the largest group of communist-aligned partisans who fought a guerilla war against Mussolini’s Italian Social Republic and the German occupation of Italy. This character is a generic representation of one of these resistance fighters. His uniform is a mix of repurposed Italian Army gear and partisan insignia. The most crucial identifier is the red star with a hammer and sickle on his cap, the symbol of the communist partisan movement, which replaced the royalist star of the regular army.

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

• The toy minifigure is wearing a grey-green uniform with a white sweater underneath and printed leather webbing.
• He comes with two headgear options: a Bustina field cap featuring the red star insignia, and a standard Italian M33 steel helmet.
• His weapon is a Breda 30 light machine gun. This was the standard light machine gun of the Royal Italian Army, and many were captured from armories or taken from defeated units to be used by the partisan forces.
