The Dragon 6743 German Brandenburg Troops, Leros 1943 (4 Figures Set) is a detailed 1/35 scale plastic model kit designed for demanding historical modelers. The model depicts a detachment of the elite German unit—the so-called Brandenburgers—operating on the island of Leros in 1943 during the intense Aegean operations of World War II.

The Brandenburg units (German: Brandenburg) were a special formation within German military intelligence, specializing in sabotage missions and raids behind enemy lines. They were especially renowned during the Balkan campaign and on the Eastern Front but also conducted active operations in the Mediterranean region. In November 1943, they took part in the capture of the strategic Greek island of Leros, defended by British and Italian forces.

The Dragon 6743 set includes four realistically rendered German soldier figures outfitted with meticulously detailed uniforms and weapons typical of the late 1943 period. The set contains equipment pieces, helmets, distinctive ammunition belts, and armaments such as the Mauser 98k rifle and MG34/MG42 machine guns. Each figure features detailed sculpting and a dynamic pose, allowing for realistic diorama scenes from the Battle of Leros.
