Blitzkrieg was a new form of mobile warfare that Germany unleashed on Europe, with rapid success gained in Poland in September 1939. The following year, in 1940, Germany used the same strategy against the Low Countries and France. In less than two months of rapid-moving armored warfare, the aforementioned countries had surrendered, and British forces had been ignominiously evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk. Dragon's latest Gen 2 figure set offers four German figures from this early period of WWII. Entitled "March to the West", the 1/35 scale set contains four German soldiers in typical gear at the time of this decisive campaign in May-June 1940.

The four soldiers are all very different as they belong to various units. There is a Reiter ("cavalryman"), a Feldgendarmerie (military policeman), a Panzer-Pionier (combat engineer), and an SS-Oberschutze ("senior private") from the famed Totenkopf Division.
