"To control the conquered peoples of Europe, and particularly to counter any signs of resistance, the Germans employed a bewildering array of different units, mostly attached to the Army, SS or Police, although the distinctions between these were sometimes very unclear. For the purposes of our hobby the good news is that most of these units were dressed and equipped much like the regular Army, with the differences being mainly in insignia and other small details that are largely irrelevant to figures at this scale, so they can be portrayed using any of the many existing sets of infantry and a suitable paint job. This set from Orion however has chosen to portray two types of security personnel that have previously been less easy to depict…."

Interesting units, and a side of combat not often looked at before. Limted appeal, I suppose, but nevertheless someone will find a use for them.

Second time today I have commented just how good is Plastic Soldier Review at uniform details and picking up on awful anatomical mistakes.

It baffles me. Professional folk produce such figures. It is as easy to make short legs as long ones (as in top figures) or sensible (not Airfix 1960s) poses unlike the middle row first three. How can anyone allow these through any form of quality control? Lack of detail is different, but misshapen and daft poses are unforgiveable. The Gestapo are so much better
