Wow you have done a very good job

Next think about doing Hitler's Bunker in April 1945, with your skill level it will be amazing

Holy cow dude!!! I am gobsmacked by how much work you did in so little time. I can't get anywhere near this much done so quickly. Nice!!
I agree with the idea of doing the end of the war bunker scene in the future. It would be a nice bookend to this dio?

Wow, did you repurpose ALL those figures, or get some OOB? Amazing.

That’s a lot of work! I like dioramas with lots of figures … especially like the cameraman capturing the moment.
Nice balance overall!

@jrutman : I've got all the time in the world sihce I retired
@BillCross : I guess 70% is "out-of-the-box" and 30% was altered by me. It's just a matter of searching for the right figures. There's so many small makers on the web...
@justsendit : the cameraman is on the actual time-period picture so I had to add it.
What's your overall opinion on the dio? Comments are always welcome. Not too controversial?

Too me,this dio depicts a moment in history. This scene actually happened in the 1930s. So depicting a moment in time with a three dimensional piece of art is perfectly OK as far as I am concerned. Ignoring the fact that this actually happened will not make it go away. I am not a fan of trying to "erase" history like the current frenzy in my country with removing the confederate flag. I agree it is not wanted at a public place like a govt building but removing it from museums and battlefield parks seems silly to me.

One thing that jumps out at me is that the heads of the marching soldiers should be turned to the left, gazing upon their Führer.

Otherwise it is a pretty good dio.

@Marty,
Your right but the heads were not "loose" in this pretty lame Preiser set. Tried to alter it but in didn't work.
