Description
British Commando - Dieppe 1942
Good to see these brave chaps get a mention for once, even though the raid was poorly planned and executed, their sacrifice led the German High Command to believe that they could move forces away from France and into Russia.
Thanks to the U.S. a crap-ton of Canadian and British soldiers died on the Dieppe beach. R.I.P Lads.
These look great, by the way! I love how you put the Hi-Power in their other hands!
Glad somebody noticed the hi-power ;P.
And yes Dieppe was huge failure, waste of good men.
Sturm.
The Hi-powers issued to Commonwealth troops were made in my city of residence.
And how exactly is it the U.S.'s fault?
U.S. intelligence informed and ensured the Commonwealth that Dieppe was inadequetly defended, when they were aware that it was quite heavily defended, thus leading hundreds of men into a useless slaughter.
People in Canada see it as the British throwing the Canadians at the germans to test defenses,
look at the casualty figures
3000+ Canadians.
300 British.
So yeah we weren't too happy with the British about that,
anyway I'm glad someone is putting effort into new human models, the models from the vanilla game are atrocious, and DMS show no intention of updating them, but they'll update tiny hand grenade models and give them new helmets.. lol
I am Canadian... but yes, I do see what you mean.
Remove the rank insignia oppo and then you have a commando :)
Could also go as far as removing the No.4 Cdo Regimental flash as well for authenticity sake.
Do not know what to say akcept wow
Gefreiter
Nice armament! And a hat :-D
