The ICM 35561 German Patrol (1939–1942) figure set presents a tightly composed narrative scene from the early years of World War II. Produced in 1/35 scale, this plastic figure kit includes four figures—one German officer, two soldiers, and one civilian—capturing a moment typical of patrol, security, or occupation duties during the period from 1939 to 1942.
Historical Background
Following the outbreak of WWII in 1939, German forces operated extensively across occupied territories in Europe. In addition to frontline combat, Feldgendarmerie units were tasked with patrolling roads and streets, maintaining order, checking documents, and interacting with civilians in towns and villages. Such patrols were a common sight during the campaigns in Poland, Western Europe, and the early phase of the Eastern Front.
Interactions between military personnel and civilians—ranging from routine questioning to checkpoint control—were an everyday part of occupation life. This figure set reflects that reality, focusing on security operations and civilian contact rather than battlefield action.
