Developed by the renowned Dragon company, the set is aimed at historical modelers seeking faithfully recreated battle scenes and excellent additions for winter dioramas.

Historical background and application

The Battle of Moscow, which began in the autumn of 1941, was a key moment in Operation Barbarossa. The Russian winter took the Germans by surprise, as they were not sufficiently prepared for the extremely low temperatures and harsh weather conditions. The set portrays German soldiers in winter clothing, characteristic of the first months of the Russian winter—featuring both greatcoats and new headgear, as well as insulated boots provided to frontline units. The models show realistic poses, allowing for accurate recreation of historical events, such as the retreat from the Moscow area or the hardships of everyday combat in the snow.
