Everything seems like caught in a moment. I like it a lot, especially guy jumping over barbed wire.

[stenfalk]

Absolutely worth seeing. A very nice piece you imagine again. I can feel the despair of the retreating troops. And even if you can´t see them I can sense a huge detected approaching Russian Army...

Looks very dynamic! Full of action ! Great conversions of figures!

[santifernandez]

WW II is not mine but this scene is so lively. you did a very good gluejob.

[Susofrick]

You can make a Medieval scene too, Defending the Order. I am not that fond of WWII, but this looks nice!

[T. Dürrschmidt]

Wow. You did an extremely dynamic scene. I especially like the Crew bailing out of the tank.

That's my favorite bit too.

Hello,

agree, very dynamic. I like such dynamic scènes.
I am not sure whether I understand everything. Are there some German soldiers revolting and shooting on comrades or are these "NKVD" subversive troops in Wehrmacht uniforms creating amoc?

The NKFD (Nationalkomitee freies Deutschland, Nationalkomitee free Germany) is roughly say captured German soldiers by the Russians who turn them around to free Germany from the N**i regime. The Wehrmacht soldiers called they simply Seydlitz troops.The NKFD (Seydlitz troops) do first propaganda with loudspeakers at the front line and later on in only small groups they fight (German against German soldier) as in my Dio shown in the Oder battle. I read about these small attacks in the Book of Tony Le Tissier, Durchbruch an der Oder (Breakethrough at the Oder) ISBN 3-86047-904-0.
NKFD troops use red armlet and German, Russian stuff as in the Dio shown.

@ All
Thank you very very much for your nice words.

[Bramble15]

Very very nice Wiking! I am always very impressed when contributors like yourself put these scenes forward. I love to see not only very nice paintwork but creativity and detail and you have captured it. The only question is.....what's next!

The next is definitely to say thank you so much for your kind words.

[Wheeling Turn]

Cool dio, very dynamic poses.

[Hellboy]

Wiking, again a masterpiece of you! Where to start with the praise? The shape of the base plate is very unusual and a itself an eye-catcher. The floor design is great (ditch, traces of tank tracks, etc.). The dynamic figures, vehicles and and and and .... all together gives a work of art !!!
Thanks also for the historical information about the NKFD troops.

[Wiking]

@Wheeling Turn.
Thank you.

@Hellboy
Thanks a lot or your nice commend.

Awesome diorama and cool history with it. I like the tank crewman about to shoot the guy with the magnetic explosive. Well built and painted....lots of action too. Bill
