Life in the Past Lane
Day 4 - 1942
The first figure represents the ever changing battle of El Alamein, a small railway station in Egypt that the British and Commonwealth soldiers under General Montgomery had to defend to prevent the German army from moving further into North Africa and reaching the oil reserves of Egypt and the middle east. In Europe, Britain was increasing it's Commando raids in Western Europe, destroying U-boat ports, oil reserves, factories and barracks, often taking with them Commando volunteers from the European countries they raided. Finally is an Italian soldier, Italy's power and influence was slowly being eroded as they were beaten back in Africa and the Balkans and the people at home lost faith in Mussolini.
Hope you like the figures, and a happy new year to everyone!! :)
