Bolt Action | Soviet Winter Infantry | 28mm Plastic Unit

When the German army crashed over the Russian border in 1941, Hitler was confident of a short, sharp campaign. He nearly got one, but heroic defense by the massive Soviet armies slowed the Nazi advance. The simple private soldier, "Ivan," as the Germans called him, endured dreadful battle conditions with bravery, solid loyalty, and functional equipment.

The Soviet Winter Infantry were equipped to survive the harsh winter of the Eastern Front, with warm, padded clothing that allowed them to fight effectively even in the most brutal conditions. These tough men could lie out in the snow for hours before making their attacks. Urrah!
