These Bolt Action Winter Fallschirmjäger were a free sprue that came with Wargames Illustrated. I am intending to use them in Operation Sealion battles, on the assumption that if the German invasion was successful then there would be fighting in the winter of 1940 and early 1941.
January 1941 was dominated by bitterly cold easterly winds with frost and some snow. The minimum on the night of the 15th/16th almost fell to minus 6°C.
