COBI® Battle of the Bulge 1944

The Ardennes Offensive – Battle of the Bulge – was one of the last attempts by the Axis powers to turn the tide of the war. Instead, it ended in a desperate fight for survival amidst the winter hell of Belgium. With this set from COBI, you can recreate a dynamic combat scene that stretches from the forested mountains of the Ardennes to the streets of the besieged Bastogne. Each brick tells a fragment of this war drama.

The set includes 6 highly detailed figures that perfectly capture the atmosphere of the winter front:

- German MG gunner in white winter camouflage with steel helmet, Sturmhaube, and MG 42

- German soldier in grey uniform and winter gear with Mauser 98K and Panzerfaust 60M

- German Panzergrenadier in Leibermuster camouflage with StG 44 and stick grenade

- American MG gunner with winter coat, M1 helmet, and Browning M1918

- US Army Paratrooper (101st Airborne Division) with M1 Bazooka, M1 Carbine, and "Old Abe" emblem

- American infantryman with green winter coat, M1 steel helmet, M1 Carbine, and determination

The Battle of the Ardennes, also known as the "Battle of the Bulge" or Operation "Wacht am Rhein", raged from December 1944 to January 1945. The harsh winter conditions, mountainous terrain, and element of surprise were exploited. The German offensive penetrated deep into Allied positions, creating a distinctive "bulge" in the front line. The defense of Bastogne by American troops played a crucial role in this.
