Why this kit matters
By 1918, gas warfare had become a major feature of fighting on the Western Front. Soldiers on all sides carried gas masks as standard equipment because chemical attacks using chlorine, phosgene and mustard gas had become frequent during trench operations. German infantry units often moved and fought while wearing respirators during periods of high gas threat.
Late-war German infantry also reflected changes in battlefield tactics, with smaller assault groups, improved equipment and greater use of cover during attacks. Gas masks became one of the most recognisable visual elements of the final phase of the war. A 1/35 scale figure set showing German infantry in gas masks captures a striking and historically important aspect of First World War combat.
