1/48 French Resistance Fighters – George & Henri

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/48 French Resistance Fighters George & Henri set represents two armed civilians who took part in the clandestine struggle against German occupation.

This set captures the determination and tension of fighters who risked their lives to weaken enemy control and support the liberation of France.
