King & Country WS040 Walking Wehrmacht Infantry: The Weight of Equipment Between Battles

The pause between action poses

The archived title identifies four walking Wehrmacht infantry figures. The saved image shows a mixture of weapons held across the body and carried over a shoulder, with the men’s faces more visible than in many helmeted firing groups.

Those choices give the release a different mood from WS039’s attacking soldiers.

Four individual outlines

The carried machine gun creates a high horizontal line over one man’s shoulders. Other equipment hangs lower around the bodies, and the different head positions keep the figures from looking like repeated copies.

A side view emphasizes those loads. A front view instead brings out the faces and the differences in how each man holds his arms.

Why the quiet group belongs

WS040 records an early infantry release whose interest comes from ordinary movement. It gives a collection room to breathe between the more active gun teams and assault figures.

Preserve the four-man combination in the record, including the equipment carried by each figure, so that loose examples can be matched back to the correct set.

Release record and collecting notes

Sager’s archived WS040 product record lists a retirement date of September 2007. These are catalog dates, rather than a statement about today’s secondhand availability.
