"WW2 german anti resistance troops" Topic

1/72nd scale

Here´s a fun game…find the bits of the photo Montage from the boxart.

Raid by field police and soldiers in Simferopol, January 1942

I´m starting to think the boxart has little to do with the titel.
Americans wearing Military inspired Trenchcoats 1943

The Trenchcoat wearing poses would be usefull as G-Men/Gangsters :-D
Conclusion..photomontage has Zero to do with the titel.

I'm well impressed you tracked down the matching photos, as I assume there was no other hint ? Half the poses are German, wasted opportunity for more resistance fighters..

I don't know if that's impressive or weird …

Let's go with impressive :-)

No hints, just the Boxart.
Question is…how did it take me 15 mins to find all the pics…and how?
Write your Ideas or Guesses on the back of an postcard and send to:
Breiview Guesthouse

Exactly what they will do with them ..I don´t know. But still, it might spread a bit of happiness :-)

Google Reverse Image Search?

Or you could have asked Orion?

Niether ;-)

Mayhaps Orion hired him to put together the box art? Hmm?

Interesting. and the timing for this TMP post useful. Thanks Paul Bods.

Been painting up German eastern front Latvian and Ukrainian FOW V3 security platoons (1942) for a early East Front Partisan train raid game. With the rail rolling stock now collected, that just leaves the Partisans themselves. Working on three Russian partisan companies with some minor support platoons/companies as I type.

Now I see Onion has a plastic set for more German rear area formations. Will have to check them out…. as I used the Strelets 1/72 sets (Police battalion) and the Partisan sets (summer and winter). Love to have more variety of miniatures.

Ps. I game FOW V3 using 1/72 miniatures and larger team basing.

Google things like Feldpolizei, Feldgendarmerie, prisoners, partizans, gestapo and you quickly bump into the right image.

I might have used different pics if Orion had hired me and There´s a much easier way to find the pics. The two involving the WWII Germans could be found after dragging About in Google search, Gestapo won´t work for the third and still not as quickly. ;-)
