The ICM 35541 May 1945 figure set captures a defining transitional moment at the very end of World War II in Europe. Produced in 1/35 scale, this plastic figure kit represents four military personnel—an officer, two soldiers, and a military servicewoman—portrayed during the immediate aftermath of victory in May 1945.
Historical Background
In May 1945, Germany formally surrendered, bringing an end to World War II in Europe. Military forces across the continent shifted rapidly from combat operations to occupation duties, security, administration, and reconstruction support. Soldiers and officers who had recently fought in intense battles now found themselves patrolling cities, restoring order, managing displaced populations, and coordinating with civilian authorities.
Military servicewomen played an increasingly visible role during this period, serving in communications, logistics, medical services, and administrative roles essential to stabilizing newly liberated regions. The mixture of personnel portrayed in this set reflects the diverse responsibilities and changing atmosphere of the immediate post‑war environment.
