This is a 6 figure set of French soldiers counterattacking the invading German forces in the early period of WWII. Comes with the squad leader holding a pistol giving commands, 4 riflemen in various attacking positions, and a machine gunner in the lying position taking aim which adds to the tension of the situation they are in. In addition to the open battle uniform and overcoat wearing soldiers, the "Kepi" helmet which was peculiar to the French military is also included which is the highlight. The French soldiers are equipped with M1936 rifles and a Mle1924/29 machine gun, and to add to the sharp finish are the pistol holsters. You can enjoy this diorama with a combination scene with The French Battle Tank B1 bis and or the French Armored Carrier UE.
