This is an oldie (but hopefully a goodie ).
Made thisone several years ago depicting the 1923 Hitler Putsch. As with all my dio's it took a lot of searching for the right figures (mostly WW1 german soldiers) but it turned out rather well (in my humble opinion)

Certainly is an unusual topic for a dio. Nicely done.
Still kinda gives me the creeps though.

I like your parade dio much better. While this scene has well done elements to it, I just don't see the connection between the putsch and what's going on in the scene.

Well one can't always win but when you do a Google-search on Hitlerputch and look at the pictures there you will find the one or two that I used to work out this small dio.

The effect is fine but isn't that truck exhibiting wartime Soviet features (simplified mudguards, wooden planked doors etc.)?

Nope. Don't remember the kit but it sure was German.

By the way, the whole scene was roughly based on this picture of the putsch.

It seems there are 2 1943 Field caps in that dio

Eidelweiss mountain caps or a Brown shirt cap based on a gebirgjaeger cap. In 1914 the whole Austrian army wore them.

The truck looks to be a Russian type which was actually a license built Ford dating from the early 1920s.

Everything can be rationalized. The diorama does capture the spirit of the Putsch.

The comment about the fieldcaps is interesting. When a comment is made one should do good to first look into history a bit.
The Austrian WW1 cap, also known as bergmutze, was worn by the very early "SA".In fact it became so well known that it was named "Hitler Mutze" which came in a number of variations (as did the windbreaker that was often worn beside the old WW1 uniforms ). Field Grey, Grey and, later on brown, was the most used color. The brown worn by all political units was, btw, not H's favourite color but simply the result of a large stack of left over WW1 tropical jackets, known as Lettow-shirts (named after the commander in Afrika ). Numerous sorces show this kind of cap.
Well known militaria-dealer and writer of many books on the subject, Ulric of England has an original grey mutze for sale.

He also recently sold a complete set of a named putchist.

I will conclude my plea with an original cap in the brown color

Hasting to ad that mr. Stephen C. Willoughby absolutly did, both on the cap as well as on the truck. My comment is only to back up his statement that this, indeed, are no 1942 field caps.
As for the truck, a quick Google-search on "1914 German LKW" will position this kind of truck in the showed period.

My search on that text string brought up loads of pictures including Opel Bllitz and a Steyr 1500 with Einheits cab, so I'm not sure that helped me much.

I don't dispute that there were Ford AA trucks around then, although it's not really my field. I just thought they all had pressed steel cabs and front mudguards, not the late war simplified Soviet versions. Still, I learn stuff every day.

Being triggers=d I did some googling myself and came up with two LKW's used in the (very) early 20's in Germany. Not a 100%v match but it'll do for me. Can't tell if they were German made but, though they lost the war be sure they did bring some foreign trucks on the way back from the front in 1918...
