Einzelkampfer : Waffen-SS tank hunting infantrymen, Budapest Hungary 1945
Einzelkampfer (Single Combatant)
German Panzergrenadier (armored infantryman) in winter outfit with dapple fall camouflage pattern during Operation Spring Awakening : German counter-offensive to relieve Soviet siege of Budapest-Hungary, Spring 1945. This was the last German offensive in World War 2, aimed at securing Budapest were 70,000 German and Hungarian soldiers were encircled, also to protect Reich's last oil fields in Hungary's Lake Balaton region.
1.35th 1980s-era Tamiya FLAK model figure and 1.35th 1990s-era Tamiya cat, hand brushed fall dapple camouflage pattern via military brown, dark earth, and tan enamel paints.
This was my first vignette (small diorama scene), scratch-built the telephone phone, cobble-stone ground, terrain from baking soda, and fence. Panzergrenadier armed with iconic late-war German weapons of Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifle and Panzerfaust (anti-tank grenade launcher).
All modern assault rifles can derive their basic usability principle to World War 2-era Sturmgewehr 44. As for man-portable anti-tank weaponry, Panzerfaust used explosive concussion to throw-out the warhead to a limited range, modern systems utilize rocket-propelled warhead for extended range (akin to US Bazooka weapon).
