King & Country · Afrika Korps · AK138
The AK138 squad leader carries an MP40, while the release description also identifies a captured pair of British binoculars. The combination offers a useful distinction from a straightforward rifleman: the figure can represent someone assessing a situation as well as taking part in it.

Display ideas and companion pieces
Place him where his attention connects two groups, such as an infantry patrol and a nearby vehicle. Leaving a little open ground in front makes the command role easier to read. The binoculars offer a visual talking point, although the figure alone cannot establish how a particular captured item was acquired.
What to check before buying
Check the MP40, binoculars and hands in close photographs. If buying loose, compare both equipment and pose with the AK138 reference rather than relying on a generic Afrika Korps label. A captured-equipment detail does not by itself prove a particular unit or date.
