Lying Prone Bren Gun Team--two WWII British Paratrooper figures
$99.00
Item Number: MG088
Lying Prone Bren Gun Team
Another great (and useful) addition to our British Airborne forces. 'Covering Fire' is an essential ingredient for every successful attack... or defence.
Once more, a skilled Bren Gunner in the most comfortable firing position, lets loose 4-5 round bursts at the enemy.
Next to the gunner, is the #2 to the gunner. He will carry additional ammunition for the Bren and, perhaps, an extra barrel and, of course, his own .303 Rifle, the standard infantry rifle for virtually all British and Empire forces during WWII and well into the 1950s.
‘RETURN TO ARNHEM’
This past September marked the 80th Anniversary of one of the most famous battles of WWII: the doomed attempt by the British 1st Airborne Division to capture the famous road bridge over the Lower Rhine at the Dutch city of ARNHEM. This was part of Operation Market Garden, devised by Field Marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery, to seize a series of major bridges and secure a road route for the British XXX Corps to advance up through occupied Holland and open a direct front into the Ruhr, Nazi Germany’s industrial heartland. If successful, Montgomery believed the war might be over Christmas 1944.
Unfortunately, the plan fell apart in Arnhem.
Due to be released in NOVEMBER 2024.
