Miniart 35315 German Feldgendarmerie Figures with Weapons - Special Edition, 1/35 Scale WW2 Military Miniatures Series Plastic Figure Model Kit Feldgendarmerie has its origins in the 17th or 18th Century, and means “military police” in German (but from the French gendarmerie). Its tasks were to control military traffic, carry important messages, and protect the royal family. Its service continued right up until 1918 when it was disbanded at the end of World War I. All that changed when Hitler came to power in 1933, and the “chain-dogs” were reintroduced into the Wehrmacht. During WW II, its mission was once again to control traffic, along with checking identity papers, patrolling in occupied areas, disarming and guarding POWs, preventing the distribution of enemy propaganda, and erecting civilian and military signs. Its soldiers were given full infantry training to go with extensive police powers. Miniart has released a set of German Feldgendarmerie whose box art shows soldiers from this formation doing typical jobs. You can easily use them on any crossroad or checkpoint diorama you might build. The figures are in very interesting poses, each of them can be easily used almost with any vehicle.
