JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS, ADVANCE INSTEAD OF RETREAT:

Let's see what Dietrich has been issued for field use. He could be an Officer or NCO he
has a well made greatcoat w/french cuffs, he's been issued gloves, field glasses, the M35 steel helmet w/heers eagle insignia on the side.
Weapon is the MP40,9mm sub machine gun w/32 round box magazine, it was often mistaken as the "Schmeisser", Hugo Schmeisser didn't have anything in its design except made the magazines with his name on it, but he did manufacture the weapon under contract, it was designed and manufactured by Erma-Werke.

Our Soldat has been issued the M1935 leather map case along with his breadbag and last the famous potato stick grenade.
