Adding extra punch to your early and mid-war German forces is this 5cm Granatenwerfer team
The 5cm Model 36 Granatenwerfer entered service in 1936 with the purpose of being able to engage pockets of enemy resistance beyond the range of manually thrown grenades.
Due to it’s complicated telescopic sights and limited range the Model 36 was gradually withdrawn from frontline service by 1942 and saw out the rest of the war in garrison and rear units. Despite it’s limitations as the war progressed and technological advances raced on, the Model 36 saw to see extensive service during the early stages of WWII in the Blitzkrieg assaults on Poland, France and the Low Countries as well as on the Eastern Front and the North African desert.
The new two-man team perfectly complements our early war German Rifle Squad. Comprising of 5 riflemen, 2 NCOs with MP38 SMGs, a two-man MG34 LMG team and a soldat with Panzerbuchse 39 anti-tank rifle. JUst the job for representing German squads during the early war and also mid-war forces on the Russian Front.
If the 5cm grenade launcher doesn’t eliminate the enemy, you’ll be needing something a little more intimidating. Look no further than our Sd.Kfz 231 8-rad armoured car. With 2cm autocannon and co-axial machine gun to go with it’s speed and rugged looks it should make the enemy think twice about continued resistance.
With the era of mobile warfare firmly upon us and Blitzkrieg tactics serving the German armed forces well as they storm across Europe, you’ll be needing a transport for your brave soldats. The Phanomen Granit H25 truck will give you a ride to where the action is. The H25 saw action during the invasions of Poland, France and the Low Countries as well as in the North African desert and the Eastern Front, not to mention serving in NW Europe to the war’s end.
