1/35 1940 French Infantryman ‘’ Behind The Enemy Bushes ‘’ No.3

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/35 1940 French Infantryman “Behind The Enemy Bushes” No.3 offers a light yet realistic glimpse into the daily life of a French soldier during the Battle of France, 1940.
Amid the exhaustion, retreat, and tension of war, soldiers still faced the mundane realities of field life — rest, routine, and improvisation in the open countryside.
This figure captures that authentic, human moment: a private scene behind the bushes, far from the discipline of the parade ground but very much part of a soldier’s life on campaign.

Though humorous in tone, the sculpt remains grounded in realism, portraying the humanity and vulnerability that often contrast with the gravity of wartime.
