Assault Gliders

Product Information

German engineers begun the development of assault gliders in anticipation of Operation Sea Lion and Operation Barbarossa - the silent nature of the airborne transports appealed - giving something of an element of surprise to the German operations.

Gliders were used by Germany in Greece in 1941, and later in 1941, 500 German transport aircraft carrying paratroopers took off from the Greek mainland during an effort to capture Crete.

Some German glider operations continued later in the war, emergency re-supply operations in Russia, North Africa and Eastern Europe towards the end of the war.

This Boxed Set contains 4 miniatures. These models are supplied unpainted, and assembly may also be required.
