As you can see from the photos below, the bad guys of Stahtruppe have grown in number as Erika's Argentine and Paraguayan relatives keep popping out of the woodwork. Uniforms and equipment continue to be an eclectic mix. SS camo smocks have become popular with the members, though these are mixed with Heer (army) uniform items. I've recently acquired more helmets; most of the new ones being plastic as i find the metal ones, though nicer in some ways, make all but the Phicen figures kind of top heavy and more prone to tipping over. So Phicen figures like Schatzie continue to wear metal helmets, the jointed figures are all wearing plastic ones now. I've been adding things like bread bags and canteens, and when I can get them, cloth MP-40 magazine pouches, though these are hard to get parted out. Schatzie even has a bayonet for her Kar-98K. I've also gotten my hands on a few very nice potato masher grenades which I've passed around. These are all wood and metal and the end caps come off.
The chief weapon used by Stahltruppe is the MP-40 submachine gun, quite a few of which seem to have made their way to South America in suitcases when the Nazi ancestors of current Stahltruppe members fled Germany and war crimes trials to make new lives for themselves in Buenos Aires. The Mausers are mostly for sniping. Lugers of course, remain THE iconic pistol of the 3rd Reich, despite the appearance of the P38.
More bad guys still to come.
