Siberian Veterans

Epitomising what Hitler referred to as the -Asiatic Hordes-; the Siberians were battle-hardened from their service in the conflict against Japan in the east.

Coming as a rude shock to the forces of the Third Reich; the veteran Siberian troops fell upon the over-extended German forces. They were used in mass assaults hurling themselves into the German lines fully prepared to fight in close quarters; wielding wicked knives and using their entrenching tools to terrible effect.

Raised from the forces in the far east of the Soviet Union they were used to deprivation and hardship; and their stamina in the the deep; hostile snows in their homeland was a constant source of amazement to their foe.

This boxed set contains a mixed force of Siberian troops led by a commissar exhorting his troops with the aid of a loudhailer; all eager to fight the German invaders for Stalin and holy Mother Russia!
