SS151A Veronika on the Bicycle Generator

Description

In WWII Germany used millions of women as auxiliaries. They had vital roles in all the 3 major arms of the German military machine. We have introduced 3 new army female signals soldiers to complement the previous 2 figures released last month.

A big thank you to Paul Goodsell, a good friend of the company, who came up with the inspiration for these female radio operators.  We think they will deliver, as well or better than Paul does in his real job as a Post/Mail Man!

SS149A.  Rita, Taking Notes – Brown Hair
SS149B.  Irene, Taking Notes – Blonde/Auburn Hair

Listening intently, taking orders to be dispatched to the troops on the ground or listening to information from the front line so it can be relayed back to HQ.

SS149B  $55/£50 Each
Only 50 sets of each version released.

SS150A.  Marianne, Telephone Operator – Brown Hair
SS150B.  Gita, Telephone Operator – Black Hair

On the telephone she is attentive and business like.  The communications are vital to the productivity of the regiment or she could be just making a date for dinner with that officer that has been chasing her for weeks………whichever you imagine or likes to take your fancy.
The cable is long enough for the radio to be place on one of the tables.
SS150 can be sat in her chair or on her desk, a bit more flexibility from Thomas Gunn.

SS150A  $55/£50.00 Each
SS150B  $55/£50.00 Each
Only 50 sets of each version released.

SS151A.  Veronika, Woman on Bicycle Generator – Brown Hair
SS151B.  Margot, Woman on Bicycle Generator – Blonde/Auburn Hair

Powering the communications system, no not an early Peloton, these bikes were used extensively by German Armed forces in WWII for generating the required power [first used in the First World War].  They were an easily portable and productive way to power radio equipment.  You can imagine the staff taking it in turns, well maybe not Big Bertha [SS157A] or her sister Gerta [SS157B] to generate power, although they definitely need the exercise!
As we all know, Horses sweat, Men perspire and Woman ‘Glow’.

SS151A  $55.00/£50.00 Each
SS151B  $55.00/£50.00 Each
Only 50 sets of each version released.

As a note of interest we have included a picture below of Irene Reimann, dressed in civilian jumper and German army trousers] a German (Blitzmadschen) telephonist of Luft-Nachrichten-Regiment 201, the unit manning the headquarters bunker of the Luftwaffe’s 3 Jagd-Division at Schaarsbergen which controlled the two Luftwaffe radar and communications stations. She was the only German woman soldier captured at Arnhem, at first she refused all food until it was tasted by the British troops, she either feared it was poisoned or she had obviously heard how bad British cuisine was!
After constant nagging about taking their boots off before coming into her hut and not cleaning up after themselves, the Paras sent her back to her own lines three days later!
Note, the British Para in the left corner of the photo.

Available late August.
