The Waffen-SS was initially created as the armed wing of the Nazi Party, but over the course of the war it was expanded to 38 divisions. They fought on both the Eastern and Western fronts alongside the Heer Divisions of the German Army. They were typically given priority for equipment and were, at least initially, made up of the most loyal and diehard soldiers. As such, they proved extremely capable in battle. The tank divisions in particular were feared by the Allies.

Created for First Legion's Battle of Normandy range, these extremely flexible toy soldiers can be used as Panzer Grenadiers from just about any Waffen-SS division including 12th SS Hitler Jugend, 1st SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler, 17th SS Gotz von Berlichingen, 2nd SS Das Reich, 9th SS Hohenstaufen, or 10th SS Frundsberg. The artists' inspiration was to have them as members of the 17th SS opposing the US Paratroopers at the Battle of Bloody Gulch, famously depicted in the mini-series Band of Brothers. However, as you can see they can represent any of the mentioned formations. The Battle of Normandy figure range the US now have some opposition as the Waffen-SS take the field!

A grenadier officer shouts to his men and points toward the enemy. "Amerikaner!" The StG 44 was te predecessor to modern selective-fire assault rifles.
