1/35 1940 French Infantryman ‘’ Behind The Enemy Bushes ‘’ No.1

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/35 1940 French Infantryman “Behind The Enemy Bushes” No.1 represents a French soldier during the Battle of France, 1940, taking cover in the undergrowth or preparing for an ambush.
As German armored columns advanced rapidly through France, small infantry groups often resorted to concealment and guerrilla-style tactics to resist or delay the enemy.
This figure captures the tension and focus of such moments — a soldier crouched and alert, relying on terrain and camouflage to survive.

Dressed in standard French field gear with the Adrian helmet and Model 1935 tunic, this sculpt conveys the realism and intensity of frontline combat from the French perspective.
