1/48 U.S Paratrooper 1 – Normandy 1944

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/48 U.S. Paratrooper 1 – Normandy 1944 by Dynamo Models depicts an elite American soldier from the 82nd or 101st Airborne Division during the D-Day operations of June 1944.
Paratroopers were among the first Allied troops to land in France, jumping behind enemy lines to secure bridges, crossroads, and towns before the main invasion.
This figure embodies the determination, grit, and courage of those who fought through the hedgerows and villages of Normandy, symbolizing one of the most iconic moments of the war.
