Bolt Action | French Army Infantry Section | 28mm Metal Unit

Declaring war on Germany in 1939, the French armed forces were initially superior in tanks and ships but faced challenges due to outdated tactics and strategy. Despite this, the French army performed bravely, fighting alongside their British allies in a rearguard action culminating in the remarkable withdrawal at Dunkirk. The French forces continued to battle on as the Germans closed on Paris, making gallant stands against a more technologically and tactically advanced foe.

This 10-man infantry section captures the bravery of the French soldiers who fought for the honor of France, many of whom would later return with the Allies in 1944 to reclaim their homeland.
