The division's experienced soldiers, many of them veterans of the Eastern Front, had recently reinforced the beach defenses and were on a training exercise when the Allied fleet appeared on the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePositioned in fortified strongpoints overlooking the beach, the 352nd's machine gunners and riflemen inflicted catastrophic casualties on the American landing craft and the soldiers struggling ashore. By the end of June 6, over 2,000 Americans had become casualties at Omaha alone — the heaviest toll of any D-Day beach. The 352nd's determined defense highlighted the deadly effectiveness of prepared coastal defenses against even a massive amphibious assault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Set:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 unique figures — riflemen, NCOs, machine gunners, officers, and support roles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGerman M35 Stahlhelm steel helmet (each figure)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKarabiner 98k bolt-action rifle — standard riflemen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMP40 submachine gun — NCOs and squad leaders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMG42 machine gun — defensive strongpoint crews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Atlantic Wall defensive gear with ammunition pouches and field equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVaried poses depicting fortified coastal defense positions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor serious WWII historians and D-Day collectors aged 12 and up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFigure Count: 24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: Compatible with standard building brick systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Full gear and weapons loadout per figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAges: 12+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOwn the unit that made Omaha Beach history — 24 meticulously detailed figures.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"303 Bricks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52289098809646,"sku":"PD.776","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/8969\/3486\/files\/24pcs-WW2-Military-Army-Soldier-Soviet-US-UK-German-France-Building-Blocks-Set-Model-Bricks-Action.jpg_640x640_LE_auto_x2_2af6e41e-d8be-4030-a77b-957ea473c5cf.jpg?v=1783540775","url":"https:\/\/winibricks.com\/products\/352nd-infantry-division-german-wwii-soldiers","provider":"Wini Bricks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
