The Dragon Steiner figure has a highly detailed PPSh submachine gun. It opens so you can clean it after firing.
I like that Dragon figures hands are made to really hold their weapons well.
The wide variety of patches, and awards is well done, I think.
I have over a dozen WWII German 12 inch soldiers. Versus about 100 US Army and Navy figures.
I like 1/6th scale figures because of the detail on the figures.
And I like that you can change the pose or alter their equipment. Same reason I like ring hand figures in 60mm. Here he is with a helmet rather than the cap. Cap looks better I think his hair is a little fluffy for the helmet. I could remove the helmet liner and then it might fit better, but not today.
Here he has a panzerfaust. Not included in the original set, but available separately, or with other figures. Recently Fidelis Models opened an ebay store and they were selling off a stash of Dragon 1/6th figures, including a Steiner. He only had a few so they may even be gone by now, but it might be worth a look if you are interested. This one is in my collection and is not for sale.

I belive Willi Henrich based the character of Rolf Steiner upon a real person, in the same unit he served at the Eastern Front; Johann Schwerdfeger
Nice figure by the way!
Thanks for the information, I did not know that. It is a great movie.
