Bought both of these from eBay last week and both figures arrived yesterday.
The first figure appears to be a a Wehrmacht Grenadier Private, based on the collar patches. He was most likely to be stationed in France in 1940 after the Blitzkreig, based on the France flag insignia on his helmet. He features regular soldier equipment, a plastic German helmet, rubber Jack boots and a German K98 bolt action rifle.
My second figure is a 12th Waffen SS Panzer Division Rifleman and his name is Wolfgang Feigel and on the box it said his rank was Corporal. Wolfgang features a SS Pea Dot camo uniform, which was very useful in wooded areas. He also comes with regular soldier equipment, a G42 rifle and a metal helmet. The information on the box said that... "The 12th Waffeb SS Panzer Division was one of the "classic" units and was one of the most renowned units of WW2. Initially activated in February of 1943, the unit was redesignated the 12th SS Panzer Grenadier Division on October of that year.
The Division saw most of it's combat in 1944 in Normandy, France and Belgium where it sustained heavy losses. Through 1945 it operated on the Eastern Front until it surrendered near Austria in May 1945.
