This minifigure represents Walter Model, a prominent German Field Marshal (Generalfeldmarschall) during World War II. He was known as one of Hitler’s most capable defensive commanders, often called “the Führer’s Fireman” for his skill in stabilizing collapsing fronts.
The figure’s appearance is highly specific and historically detailed to represent Field Marshal Model. His identity is confirmed by his characteristic monocle, which he famously wore, as well as the numerous high-level decorations on his uniform.
The item in the picture is a single, highly detailed toy minifigure:
- The figure is wearing the uniform of a German general officer. This includes the grey service tunic and trousers with the wide, red “lampasse” stripes running down the side, which was exclusive to generals.
- His headgear is a black, high-peaked officer’s visor cap (Schirmmütze) with printed silver eagle and wreath insignia.
- The printed decorations on his tunic are extensive and accurate for his rank and service record. Most prominently, he wears the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds around his neck. This was one of Nazi Germany’s highest military decorations, awarded for extreme battlefield bravery, and Walter Model was one of only 27 recipients.
- The figure also has printing on all four sides, showing details like the officer’s belt, the back of the tunic, and boot details.
