Does anyone make these? I see Pendraken has a German East Africa line but no German officers etc. |

The packs usually have three officers in them plus if you look in the Middle East section there's a German Asia Korps pack which can be used for East Africa. |

Hi The Pendraken Middle East range have troops in sun helmet and peaked cap but not in the right side pinned slouch hat. As far as I'm aware nobody makes these. Would be handy for Dutch East Indies WW2 as well. This is a handy reference – link Cheers GrumpyOldMan |

I used small smooth plyers to turn up right side of Pendraken Sudan Naval brigade brimmed hat, then filed lower legs a little. Can do same thing with some other slouch hat figs. Eg check out Australian /New Zealand WW 1 which can also be used to add much needed pose variety to late war askaris on both sides in slouch hat. Boer War Brit sunhelmet is very similar to WW1 German East Africa, so conversions opps there too. Much of Pendraken Boer War artillery can also be used for WW1 East Africa. |

Actually later in the war many of the German troops were wearing British uniforms. |
