1/35 Soldiers of 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar

The 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS "Handschar" (1st Croatian) was a mountain infantry division of the Waffen-SS. From March to December 1944, it fought a counter-insurgency campaign against communist-led Yugoslav Partisan resistance forces in the Independent State of Croatia. It was given the title Handschar (BosnianHandžar) after a local fighting knife or sword carried by Ottoman policemen during the centuries that the region was part of the Ottoman Empire. It was the first non-Germanic Waffen-SS division, and its formation marked the expansion of the Waffen-SS into a multi-ethnic military force.
The figures are from Dragon set 6067 in 35 scale. The figures were painted by acrylics paints and placed on self made base.
