This minifigure represents Walter Model, a prominent German Field Marshal (Generalfeldmarschall) during World War II. He was one of Germany’s most highly regarded defensive commanders of the war.
This figure is a variant of the character, with the primary difference being his headgear. His identity as Field Marshal Model is still clearly recognizable from his signature monocle and the numerous high-level decorations printed on his uniform.
The item in the picture is a single, highly detailed toy minifigure:
- The most notable feature of this version is his grey (feldgrau) high-peaked officer’s visor cap (Schirmmütze). This was the standard service color for the German Army (Heer), making this a very accurate depiction of his service dress.
- His uniform is that of a German general, with a grey tunic and trousers that feature the wide, red “lampasse” stripes down the side, a distinction reserved for general officers.
- The printed decorations are extensive, with the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords, and Diamonds worn at the collar. This was one of the highest awards for bravery in the German military, and Model was one of only 27 recipients. The figure also features detailed printing on all four sides, showing his belt, the back of his tunic, and his boots.
