The Red Army had 303 divisions (4.8 million troops) at the time Germany invaded
the Soviet Union in June 1941. The Red Army suffered terrible defeats before
the tide began to turn with such historic victories as the Battle of Stalingrad.
A total of 29.5 million men were conscripted into the army during the Great
Patriotic War, and when WWII finally ended, the Soviets had the most powerful
ground force in the history of mankind. The Red Army had more tanks and artillery
than all other countries combined! Dragon’s latest 1/35 figure set depicts combat-proven
Red Army soldiers fighting in 1944-45 near the end of the conflict.
This is the very first Soviet Gen2 set, and what a set it is! The four figures
are from a Guards infantry unit, and after a fierce battle against German defenders
they share a bottle of vodka in a moment of calm. Each soldier is wearing an
M1940 helmet, and they are clad in a Telogreika (winter jacket), breeched and
boots. These finely sculpted figures possess a mini-arsenal, with a whole range
of exciting weapons reproduced to Gen2 standards. Weapons include the famous
PPSh41 submachine gun, DP28 light machine gun, PPS43, and even a captured German
panzerfaust. This figure set is portrayed in incredibly lifelike poses, and
will find applications in all sorts of scenes. They could be displayed in a
stand-alone vignette, or combined with one of Dragon’s new Soviet tanks that
have recently appeared on the market. The possibilities are endless for these
superbly molded soldiers, made all the more appealing by their incomparable
Gen2 level of quality!
