Volksgrenadier 7.5cm Gun Platoon (GE516)

Volksgrenadier 7.5cm Gun Platoon (GE516)
Includes two metal 7.5cm Guns with crew.

The Volksgrenadier divisions are among the first to receive a new generation of infantry guns. The 7.5cm PaK50 is a more sophisticated gun based on the 5cm PaK38 breach with a new 7.5cm gun barrel on the light 5cm PaK38 trail. It has almost the same power as the 7.5cm PaK40, but uses a large muzzle brake to prevent the weapon being ripped apart every time it fires. PaK50 infantry gun is lighter, being based on the trail of the 5cm PaK38 anti-tank gun. They are highly mobile, so they can keep up with and support assaults with direct fire of high-explosives or by firing bombardments to keep the enemy's heads down.

Bulge: German
In early December 1944 it seemed to the Americans in the Ardennes forests to be unlikely that the Germans would attack. On 16 December that illusion was shattered when the might of German Sixth Panzer Army smashed into the thinly-held US lines. The Germans led the assault with elite units of 1. SS Panzerdivision, 2. Panzerdivision and Panzer Lehr. More was to come. On 31 December Hitler launched the last German offensive in the west, Operation Nordwind. German divisions along the Lorraine front attacked into the old French Maginot Line where the Americans had dug in. With many of their reserves sent north to face the Ardennes offensive, the Americans were taken by surprise.
