1/48 Fallschirmjäger 2 – Normandy 1944

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/48 Fallschirmjäger 2 – Normandy 1944 by Dynamo Models portrays a German paratrooper from the Fallschirmjäger divisions fighting during the Normandy campaign in mid-1944.
Originally elite airborne troops, these soldiers became renowned for their endurance, tactical skill, and fierce resistance in defensive battles.
In Normandy, they were often deployed as elite infantry, tasked with holding critical positions against Allied forces advancing inland from the D-Day beaches.
This figure reflects that phase of the war — disciplined, battle-worn troops defending every inch of ground amid chaos and destruction.

Despite the small scale, the figure conveys realism through precise body proportions and lifelike posture, bringing character to any display.
