Day 5 - 1943

(I am aware of the repeating heads I only realised after I'd taken it and didn't want to go to the trouble to setting everything up to redo it)

 

The first figure (Same as in 1940) is an RAF airman, representing not only the bomber campaign over Germany but one of the most famous raids of the Second World War. The Dambusters raid in May 1943 attacked German dams in the Ruhr, a heavily industry area using a specially designed bomb. The flooding caused put factories out of action and stopped any water fueled power stations from generating electricity. The second figure represents the German army's retreat through Russia as the Russian army with new tactics and more men gain the upper hand. In July of 1943 Commonwealth and American forces landed at Sicily to begin the Italian campaign following after the African campaign. And finally is a French Resistance fighter, which represents the increased attacks on German communications, vehicles and men as the invasion of Europe drew closer.

 

Thanks for taking a look, would love to hear your comments as always. :)
