NOR032
First Legion
These First Legion figures represent the German 6
th Parachute regiment during Normandy '44. The 17
th SS Panzer Grenadier Division and these paratroopers counterattacked at Carentan against the 101
st Airborne at the Battle of Bloody Gulch. NOR026-035 complement the Waffen SS NOR013-025 and US Airborne NOR001-012 figures.
When direct fire is ineffective, this paratrooper opts for a lobbed grenade to try to dislodge the 101st Ariborne troops that refuse to give up Carentan.
