One of the keys to the success of the D-Day Landings was the
widespread use of Allied paratroops and glider-borne Infantry. The
airborne warriors landed at night, well ahead of the invasion, jumping
out of their C-47 "Dakota" airplanes or landing in their wooden glider
craft into the German rear areas.
These elite troopers were tasked with seizing important road junctions,
eliminating hidden German gun batteries which could shell the beaches
from beyond the reach of the Allied naval units and blocking routes to
be used by Nazi units coming up to counter-attack the invading armies.
Can your intrepid U.S. airborne warriors silence a hidden German gun
battery which can put fire down on the invading forces? Take command, as
Lt. Winters did in "Band of Brothers," then, using surprise and tactics
to overcome superior Nazi firepower. The Germans defend with a
reinforced platoon armed with six deadly machine guns, over a dozen
sub-machine guns, plus rifles, grenades and pistols. They occupy a
fortified position and figure they can fight off all comers. But the
paratroops have training, daring and guts.
This is one of three different, but inter-connected, Toy Soldier Company
D-Day Playsets. Each set can stand on its own, but when combined with
the other two sets from the same range the resulting collection creates a
broad canvas upon which you and your kids can rewrite history! Please
note that the contents of each set are almost entirely different from
the others in the range.
