Ideal for wargamers and collectors alike, this set provides everything needed to field a full-strength Fallschirmjäger infantry force with integrated support elements.
The set includes a wide array of figures in dynamic and historically accurate poses, featuring standard riflemen, SMG troops, pioneers, anti-tank teams, machine gunners, command figures, and mortar crews. Whether representing elite troops in the early airborne operations of 1940 or the bitter defensive fighting in Italy, Normandy, or the Ardennes, this set provides maximum flexibility for your gaming table or diorama display.
Fallschirmjäger were among the most feared and respected infantry of the Wehrmacht, known for their aggressive tactics, high morale, and ability to fight independently under difficult conditions. Their effectiveness was matched by their adaptability, often fighting as elite ground troops long after large-scale airborne operations had ceased.

History:
Formed in the late 1930s, the Fallschirmjäger were Germany’s airborne infantry and served as an elite strike force throughout the Second World War. They achieved early fame during daring assaults in Norway, the Low Countries, and most famously the airborne invasion of Crete in 1941. As the war progressed and airborne operations became less feasible, they were deployed as elite infantry in critical battles across Italy, Normandy, and the Eastern Front. Known for their discipline, initiative, and tenacity, Fallschirmjäger units often held key positions against overwhelming odds. Their distinctive jump smocks and aggressive fighting style made them instantly recognisable—and feared—on the battlefield. This set captures their unique look and battlefield role in fine 12mm detail.
