I have been working on some Fall of the Reich units for my 20mm collection since returning from holiday.

 One of the units is the Reichsarbeitsdienst “Albert Speer” panzer grenadier Abteilung. Some of this unit made up “Kampfgruppe 1001 nights” who fought in the Seelow heights.  The figures are from Simons Soldiers Range, medic from FAA.

Excellent stuff!  I like seeing these unusual "minor" and "ad hoc" units which appeared particularly at the end of WW2.

Will you be doing the rest of the KG?

These are good, and a very different subject. I like the mix of headgear, am I seeing WWI and WWII stahlhelms, Adrian helmets, FJ ones, as well as various soft caps?
