Imperial German Infantryman, Battle of Liege, August 1914

It's back! VERY limited quantities in stock for a limited time.

Germany invaded Belgium on August 4, 1914, intending to sweep through Belgium to France in a matter of days. The Belgian army offered fierce resistance from the network of fortresses in Namur, Antwerp, and especially Liège. Combined with unexpected civilian resistance, the German advance was slowed, disrupting the flow of the Schlieffen Plan and very possibly saving Paris.

The CalTek 1/6 scale Imperial German Infantryman figure captures the German infantryman as he would have appeared in these earliest days of the war. The German soldier's distinctive feldgrau uniform, with its polished brass buttons and gleaming black Pickelhaube is an iconic image of the First World War.
