US Army Infantry Squad in Winter Clothing

Bolt Action: US Army Infantry Squad in Winter Clothing

When America entered World War II in late December 1941, the soldiers were mostly excellently equipped and supplied. By 1944, as American troops advanced on the European mainland, they were, like most armies of that era, hardly prepared for the bitter European winter. Initially, there was a general lack of coats and wool gloves to protect against the biting cold while also providing good camouflage. The practical-minded Americans modified their winter uniforms by quickly providing their soldiers with additional clothing. Well-improvised snowsuits were often made directly from looted bedding from liberated/conquered cities.

The box contains the following 10 metal models:
- 1 Officer with SMG
- 2 Soldiers with BARs
- 7 Soldiers with Rifles/Carbines

The miniatures need to be assembled and painted.
