About the Unit:
Operating in small cells, the French Resistance relied on a mix of captured, stolen, and supplied weapons from Allied forces and local caches. Their medium machine guns, often Hotchkiss M1914s or MG34s taken from German garrisons, allowed them to lay down suppressive fire and disrupt enemy movements. These weapons were vital during the Battle of the Maquis, delaying German reinforcements ahead of the Allied landings in Normandy.
About the Model:
This finely detailed 1/56 scale model captures the makeshift but determined nature of the Resistance, with fighters operating an MMG in a hidden or defensive position. Whether used for Bolt Action skirmishes, historical dioramas, or display collections, this set adds a unique piece of WWII history to your tabletop battles.
