1/35 Fallschirmjager Checking the Map – Normandy 1944

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/35 Fallschirmjäger Checking the Map – Normandy 1944 depicts a soldier from Germany’s elite paratrooper units (Fallschirmjäger) during the fighting in Normandy, shortly after the Allied landings in June 1944.
Renowned for their discipline and tactical skill, Fallschirmjäger were often deployed as ground infantry during this phase of the war, engaging in defensive operations against overwhelming Allied forces.

This figure captures a moment of strategic pause — a paratrooper studying his map to navigate the shifting frontlines of Normandy’s bocage countryside. His posture reflects calm focus and situational awareness, embodying the professionalism of Germany’s airborne troops.
