As a companion piece to Wolf's jeep driver holding out a Knights Cross, this figure stands in a wool melton greatcoat, examining a German officer's cap.  He's kind of a grizzled, cigar-chomping character, reminding me of James Whitmore in the classic film "Battleground."  A BAR is slung over his shoulder, and he totes an M1928 haversack on his back.  Black rubber four-buckle overshoes are on his feet.  In a nice touch he has what is presumed to be a poncho (or maybe a white camo sheet) tucked into that back of his belt.

The sculpting on this figure is exquisite, with just a faint seam along the side of the coat where the mold separated.  The BAR is well-detailed in white metal.

This is a great little figure (he stands a couple inches under 6'), and by replacing his hand and cap you could have him examining ID papers, holding a canteen or wine bottle, etc.
