All Hell Let Loose 16

Support stands for the D.A.K in 20mm from SHQ Miniatures. 


SHQ have been the go to company for 20mm figures for myself for the last 16 plus years and although slender the figures have stood the test of time well. IMHO that is.


A the rear a 50mm mortar and crew. Production stopped for this mortar in 1941 and it was removed from frontline service during 1942. However, the Granatwerfer 36 remained popular until the end of the war with second line units although ammo did present issues in the late war period.


Also here is the backbone of the German infantry section - the MG 34 or MG40 if mid to late war.  Often considered the most advanced machine gun of its era, it was replaced by the MG40 due easier production of the MG40 over the MG 34.

More support weapons for this platoon soon.

Stay safe

Cheers for now

Great stuff, good additions to the collection.

I like them and have quite a few, particularly for vehicle crews and aa crews as they fit better I think.

Looking forward to your next edition

Very nice indeed, can't believe they are 20mm.

Nice work on these, when we did WWII in 20mm SHQ was also my go-to for most stuff although I did have a soft spot for Brittania.

Thanks Matt,

WW2 infantry sections just aren't the same without their support units.
