Another nice video. Axel, the paratrooper and the only figure that includes the 20th anniversary Did catalog and interesting opening of the box. I really like the Fallschirmjäger, as well as the Luftwaffe, mainly because of their uniforms, which I really like (those Africa and Crete ribbons look great, as do the visor cap). And of course the FG 42 must not be missing. Super :)
Thank you. Always nice to get your comments. I have another, older falschirmjager figure still to review, which I hope you will find interesting. I ended up buying DiD's more comprehensive 20th anniversary catalog, which has everything they've made to date.
An obergefreiter would have the double Vee insignia on his left arm and plain collars and shoulder straps. The silver lace edging his collar and shoulder straps indicate an unteroffiziere; the single pip on the shoulder strap indicates a feldwebel, which was the equivalent of a technical sergeant in U.S. forces or a flight sergeant in UK forces. Where I went wrong was not having the collar patches touching the silver lace on two sides, since a gefreiter's collar patch looks the same minus the silver lace. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
