Generation War: Wilhelm Winter - German Penal Unit WW2 1/6 Scale
In this video, I dive into a detailed breakdown of a German penal battalion soldier during World War II, featuring a custom-built 1/6 scale figure inspired by the character Wilhelm. This unique WW2 German impression showcases the M43 tunic, stripped of rank insignia, as well as the unorthodox equipment choices typically seen in German probationary units.
I discuss the harsh reality of Strafbataillon soldiers who faced severe punishment and lost their rights and honor. The figure also features artistic elements, like the red triangle, representing penal status, and the white "X" marking from the movie Hauptmann.

    Love seeing this! There were two Marine Infanterie Divisions Formed in February of 1945. The 1st on the Oder front and the 2nd went to the western front. There is a great color film reel available on youtube that those photos came from. Marine-Infanterie is a big niche of mine. Unfortunately they did not wear the blue uniform, the Kriegsmarine had its own feldgrau uniform, I made a video about it years ago if you'd want to check it out. You still see blue caps though sometimes. Keep up the good work man!

    what is important to note is that even tho those guys had been navy men they still had gone through basic training and had gootten famiiliar with all the basic tools and weapons you cannot compare the wehrmachts basic training to todays basic training in modern armies anyway today they teach you back then they broke you and asembled you back the way they wanted you to be, those guys went into basic traning as 17 year old boys and came out as already hardened men

    • @TheWarRoomChannel
      @TheWarRoomChannel 2 месяца назад

      100%, all naval personnel got basic training, and these Kreigsmarine guys were very likely better than regular army replacements that got rushed up the front in just a couple of weeks. However, they still got shredded by Red Army which was on a tear: - The real cream of the Kreigsmarine probably already got called up to form Volksgrenadier divisions - They lacked the hard core fighting of real veterans on the Russian side - Absolute lack of combined arms ability

    This is outright nazi propaganda. The Holocaust has totally disappeared, as has the mass killings of tens of thousands of enemys to Germany. The division is presented as Estonian while of course it was German, composed of mostly forcibly drafted Estonians together with a thousand or so of Holocaust perpetrators (Estonians willingly participated in the Holocaust also in neighboring countries, always of course under German command).

      Hey @matsdeland, i didn’t see this comment until now. You’re absolutely right, Estonians contributed to a whopping 20 something police units. I hope I didn’t whitewash them in the video. These guys were brutal and frankly I don’t feel that comfortable still doing SS impressions
