The "Big Three" at the Yalta Conference

The Yalta Conference, also known as the Crimea Conference and code-named the Argonaut Conference, held from 4 to 11 February 1945, was the World War II meeting of the heads of government of the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union for the purpose of discussing Germany and Europe's postwar reorganization. The three states were represented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Premier Joseph Stalin, respectively. The "Big Three" figures are produced by Durso in 1946.

The Mittlerer Minenwerfer in action

The 17 cm Mittlerer Minenwerfer (17 cm mMW) was a medium range mortar used by Germany in World War I. Its effective firing range was only 300m.  It fired 50 kilogram (110 lb) HE shells, which contained far more explosive filler than ordinary artillery shells of the same caliber. The Minewerfer is produced by Hausser in 30s. Soldiers are produced by Lineol and Elastolin (30s).
