1/48 Fallschirmjäger set – Normandy 1944

Historical Context & Theme

The 1/48 Fallschirmjäger Set – Normandy 1944 by Dynamo Models depicts two elite German paratroopers of the Fallschirmjäger divisions engaged in combat during the Normandy campaign of June–August 1944.
Once famed for their daring airborne assaults in early war operations, by 1944 these troops were deployed as elite ground infantry, defending occupied France against the Allied advance.
This set captures the tense atmosphere of German defensive operations — exhausted but resolute soldiers facing overwhelming odds, symbolizing the discipline and endurance of the Luftwaffe’s finest.

Figure Details & Realism

This 1/48 scale resin set includes two finely sculpted figures in historically accurate paratrooper uniforms, complete with jump smocks, helmets, and combat webbing.
The pair are posed naturally — one in a ready position, the other scanning the horizon — ideal for creating realistic battlefield compositions.
Each figure features intricate detailing, from the folds of the smock to the precise placement of pouches and straps, ensuring maximum realism even at small scale.
Produced through high-resolution 3D printing, the figures display crisp edges and subtle texturing perfect for expressive painting.

Diorama & Display Use

Perfect for Normandy 1944 dioramas, ambush scenes, or defensive positions, these figures pair seamlessly with German vehicles such as the Panther, Sd.Kfz. 251, or Opel Blitz.
They can also be displayed alongside other Fallschirmjäger miniatures (48005 and 48006) to create a complete paratrooper team in 1/48 scale.
Whether placed among hedgerows, ruins, or village streets, the set brings motion, depth, and atmosphere to any WWII display.
