There is, of course, a wealth of wounded, dead or dying German tankers, Wehrmacht and SS figures.  To date (2000), however, there are only a few wounded U.S. figures, and only one dead GI.

This unlucky fellow from Yanks is lying on his stomach, his left arm bent back and upward, his right arm outstretched.  His facial expression looks, well, dead.  Some indeterminate sort of musette bag is strapped over his shoulder.

He wears the longer M1943 coat in olive drab,but the sculptor erred in giving him the cuff tabs that found on the M1941 jacket instead.  The low rise leather gaiters will place him in dioramas from the autumn of 1944 onward.  The pants can be painted either a woolen brown or HBT olive drab.  The sculpting is a bit coarse.  The arms don't lay flush with ground and must be fiddled with.  The man is more on the scale of Verlinden and Warriors figures.

The package photo shows an M1 carbine propped against a concrete dragon's tooth.  The GI wears a cartridge belt.  so one might think this weapon would be included, but it is not.  The only additional equipment is a shovel.  The poor guy doesn't even have a canteen.

This is a somber but worthy subject for a figure and a reminder of the cost that many GIs paid in the defense of freedom.
