The 68 1:72 scale plastic models in this box include the excellent MG 42 machine gun (which remained in regular service 50 years after the war), two varieties of anti-tank rocket launcher (the bazooka like ?......Panzershrecke?...... and the one-shot ?......Panzerfaust?......) and the world?......s first mass produced assault rifle (the MP 44).
In 1939 three infantry regiments formed the core of an infantry division and each of these had an establishment of three battalions. However, by 1943 manpower shortages meant that the strength or each infantry regiment was reduced to two battalions (supported by an anti-tank company and infantry gun company). Each division also had various supporting units including an artillery regiment, a reconnaissance battalion mounted on bicycles, an anti-tank battalion equipped with assault guns and tank destroyers and an engineer battalion.
