Description: Dragon Model - WWII German Army - Wehrmacht Winter MG34 Gunner Friedrich Kohler - Army Group South - Grenadier - Kharkov 1943 The Battle of Kharkov was any one of four World War II battles in and near the Soviet city of Kharkov in modern Ukraine, Kharkov is the Russian name of the city or Kharkiv the Ukrainian name for the city. In usage the term is sometimes indistinct, perhaps meaning the collection of all fighting at Kharkov including and inbetween the four named battles, or perhaps meaning just one of the battles without specifying which. For example, soldiers have received awards "for their action in the Battle of Kharkov". The four named battles are: First Battle of Kharkov, an October 1941 battle in which German troops captured the city Second Battle of Kharkov, a May 1942 battle in which Soviet forces attempted to retake the city Third Battle of Kharkov, a February 1943 battle in which Soviet forces were driven out again, and the Germans forces retook the city Belgorod–Kharkov offensive operation, an August 1943 battle in which Soviet forces retook the city.In German nomenclature, the operation is usually referred to as the Fourth Battle of Kharkov. This is a Dragon Model representation of a German Army soldier that would participated in the Third Battle of Kharkov. The Third Battle of Kharkov was a series of battles on the Eastern Front of World War II, undertaken by Germany's Army Group South against the Soviet Red Army, around the city of Kharkov between 19 February and 15 March 1943. Known to the German side as the Donets Campaign, and in the Soviet Union as the Donbass and Kharkov operations, the German counterstrike led to the recapture of the cities of Kharkov and Belgorod. The battle was fought during brutally cold weather making the battle difficult for both the Germans and the Russians. Freidrich's helmet winter white washed Helmet is made of Metal giving the helmet a more realistic look. Will you and your men push the Russians out of Kharkov and take the city or will they find you frozen in yourtrench with your hands still clutching your MG34 machine gun??? The outcome of the Third Battle of Kharkov is in you hands. Freidrich is armed with the formidable German MG34 machine gun.The MG 34 (shortened from German: Maschinengewehr 34, or "machine gun 34") is a German recoil-operated air-cooled general-purpose machine gun, first tested in 1929, introduced in 1934, and issued to units in 1936. It introduced an entirely new concept in automatic firepower – the Einheitsmaschinengewehr (Universal machine gun) – and is generally considered the world's first general-purpose machine gun. The versatile MG 34 was chambered for the full-power 7.92×57mm Mauser rifle cartridge and was arguably the most advanced machine gun in the world at the time of its deployment. The MG 34 was envisaged and well-developed to provide portable light and medium machine gun infantry cover, anti-aircraft coverage, and even sniping ability. Its combination of exceptional mobility – being light enough to be carried by one man – and high rate of fire (of up to 900 rounds per minute) was unmatched. It entered service in great numbers from 1939. Nonetheless, the design proved to be rather complex for mass production and was supplemented by the cheaper and simpler MG 42, though both remained in service and production until the end of the war. The World War II German army MG34 Machine Gun was responsible for more dead and wounded enemy soldiers than any other weapon in the German army weapons arsenal.
