It was formed on the initiative of Subhas Chandra Bose – an outstanding independence activist, who in 1941 arrived in Berlin seeking allies for the cause of India. The first recruits were Indian prisoners of war captured in Africa as well as students residing in Europe. In August 1944, the unit was officially incorporated into the Waffen-SS, nevertheless retaining its distinction and emphasis on Indian national symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommendations and difficulty level:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 1\/10 Freies Indien Legion bust is recommended for both historical figure collectors and advanced military modelers.
