U-boat, or U-boot is the german word for submarine.

I made some progress and I think I'm almost done with them... Pictures will come after school. Wink

I also rounded up all the pieces for the beach and the water... (They will get more pieces from a bricklink order that I'm about to make)

Fail. It's a german word. It originated in Germany.

Fail at Failing. Underwater, undersea, same thing. I said that it ALSO STANDS for what you just said... I didn't say it wasn't German, but the word 'U-boat' isn't German, it's an abbreviation of a German word...

I thought the Germans would wear some kind of trench coats.

Yes, Yes, I know. Epic fail on my part. Don't really know where I got that idea from...

Nice figures by the way!

The Kashyyk scout torso really kills it. You're trying to make 1944 Germans, not some über modern soldier with über tech and armour.

Oh, sorry each one is a different design. I thought that the kashyyyk one could be a sniper or something....

Do you like the third on in the second picture?

I'm agreeing with heady on this one...Kashyyyk and SPIII looks too modern. Otherwise, quite nice. Also, you'll still be switching the LMG and the frag grenades, right?

Technically I'm pretty sure its the "Unterseeboat" I think that is what it is in German.

And Dy, I know some stickers you could apply to any grey or light gray torso to make them look like real Germans.
