Dragon 1618 German Feldgendarme (1/16) – Plastic figure of a German Feldgendarme from World War II

Dragon 1618 German Feldgendarme is a detailed 1:16 scale plastic assembly figure, intended for advanced and intermediate historical modelers. The model depicts a German field gendarme, known as Feldgendarme, famous for the characteristic “Gorget” medallion worn on the chest during World War II.

History and Historical Background

The Feldgendarmerie was a vital military police formation of the Wehrmacht during World War II (1939-1945). They performed duties on all fronts, from France through Africa to the Eastern Front, responsible for regulating troop movements, controlling civilian populations, and combating partisans. The distinctive appearance of the Feldgendarmerie made them easily recognizable on the battlefield, and the metal gorget inscribed with “Feldgendarmerie,” worn on their chests, was not only a mark of their role but also an element that commanded respect among soldiers and civilians alike.
