German Police

Odemars German Anti-Resistance Troops, 1/72nd scale plastic.

While the box illustration may indicate a rather grim duty for these troops they are actually much better than the box would indicate.

Most of these figures are WWII German military police.  Every division had military police and there were even military police at corps and army level. 

Several of them are in plain clothing and could be civilian police, Gestapo, spies, resistance fighters, and any number of other people, even Volksstrum troops.

This man carries a traffic wand, it's used for directing traffic, usually held by the vertical handle with the disc upright.  These troops would work for Army, SS, Luftwaffe, and Navy.  They would be found on any major military installation and in all large cities.  A very useful set.
