The 1:35 Master Box 35256 Achtung Panzer! German Infantrymen for the Attack WWI is a strong plastic model kit with 4 figures for modellers who want to create a realistic First World War scene. This set brings German infantrymen in an attack setting to life and is ideal for trench dioramas, historical displays and military modelling projects in 1:35 scale.

At the beginning of the First World War, in August 1914, the army of Imperial Germany was regarded as one of the best and most efficient armies in Europe. This reputation came from earlier victories against Austria in 1866 and France in 1870-1871. German organisational solutions, such as strategic railways and mobilisation techniques, were also copied by other European countries. German infantry formed a very important part of the armed forces in 1914.

The German infantryman of the period often carried the successful 7.92 mm Mauser Gewehr 98 rifle and wore the famous pickelhaube, which was frequently used in Entente caricatures as a symbol of German militarism. During the war, German infantry changed significantly: the Stahlhelm was introduced, hand grenades, gas masks and light machine guns became more widely used, and specialised units such as Stosstruppen appeared.
