Arto Production is a new company whose first figures will be tank crew of the 12 SS Panzer Division, 6 Kompanie

An interesting feature of the figures is that they wear the ‘U-Boat’ jacket.

Worn by the Kaiserliche Marine since WWI, it was used during WWII with only slight changes in design. During the war, this jacket was also used by the Panzer Division for its ability to protect the body from fire.

It was initially used by only two Panzer Divisions, "1SS LAH" and "12SS HJ", in January 1944 until the Normandy campaign. From autumn in 1944, increasing amount of elite divisions were given this jacket. From 1945, it was widely worn by SS and WH, including the Hermann Goering Luftwaffe ground units.
