Review:

Another nice figure with all the items produced to the usual high standard. The figure represents a machine gunner from the Hitlerjugend Division that fought bitterly against the Canadians and who had to be annihilated rather than surrender.

The head sculpt is good with a fresh youthful look but has a rather blank stare. The body is the shorter Neo 2 type further advancing the youthful nature of the real subject.

The figure is provided with a really nice Hitlerjugend knife that features the correct insignia and the 'Blut und Ehre' motto on the blade. I think it is worth getting the figure just for the knife - well almost!

The one-piece camo overalls are a great new item and make this figure stand out from others in the series.

Its a shame that the ammo belt is plastic rather than the metal one supplied with Rudolf. The MG42 is as used on previous figures and sets.

Overall: Another nice figure in the German series. Get one.
