World War II
In the fall of 1944, most allied soldiers predicted that the war in
Europe would be over by Christmas. Fierce fighting was taking place
along the German frontier at Aachen and the Hürtgen Forest and
the collapse of the German Army in the west seemed imminent.
But the German Army was still a foe to be respected and on
the 16th of December, it launched a major counter offensive in
the heavily wooded area of the Ardennes Belgium, France, and
Luxembourg. In the early part of the offensive, the Germans
managed to make deep penetrations into the U.S. defenses in that
sector. The surprise attack caught the Allied forces completely off
guard and it developed into the largest and bloodiest battle fought
by the United States in World War II.
By January 25th of 1945, the ‘Bulge’ in the allied lines had been
completely reduced, severely depleting Germany’s armored forces
on the Western Front, crippling their ability to resist the final Allied
push to the Rhine.
Our newest World War II releases focus on this time period and
will be developed in depth to allow the collector to represent any
of the engagements in the closing days of war in Europe on the
western front.
The figures above are just a small sampling of the World War II collection what W. Britain produces.
The figures shown and the entire W. Britain range can be purchased from the retailers listed below:
