In the German Army during World War II, the cavalry standard-bearer was never a “cavalry charger” in the traditional sense. Instead, he was the soldier entrusted to carry the regimental flag. His duty went beyond simply bearing and guarding the colors—he embodied the unit’s honor and discipline, served as its spiritual symbol, and acted as a visual rallying point on the battlefield, merging time-honored military prestige with the practical needs of modern warfare.
DID proudly presents you the 1/6 WWII German Cavalry Standard-Bearer – Anselm. His brows are knitted, lips compressed; bright eyes catch the light with a calm, unflinching resolve, etching a portrait of unshakable steadiness.
He wears the green uniform over a white shirt, paired with your choice of grey dress trousers or grey riding breeches. A genuine-leather belt cinches the waist, while black genuine-leather riding boots (plus an extra pair of black dress shoes) wait to swap “mounted” for “parade” in seconds. The yellow-and-black cavalry sash—his most striking hallmark—crosses the chest with unmistakable swagger: one uniform, two trouser options, two footwear sets; flip the pieces and you have two full dress states—boots-and-breeches for the saddle, shoes-and-slacks for the square.
He is armed with an all-metal sabre with scabbard and genuine leather hanger; an all-metal bayonet and scabbard.
He comes with a gorget and a lanyard—both rich in ceremony and status—a golden-yellow cavalry swallow-tailed standard for battlefield recognition and command, continuing cavalry tradition within modern forces while serving as both branch identifier and badge of honor. A cigarette for downtime and exquisite metal medals are also included.
