Historical description

German paratroopers, known as Fallschirmjäger, were an elite military formation used by the Wehrmacht on various fronts of World War II, especially in invasions such as Crete or in the battles on Sicily. Due to the difficult terrain and necessity of carrying equipment over mountains and inaccessible paths, they often made use of mules and donkeys as pack animals—this is the unusual, yet historically documented scene depicted in this offered model kit.
