German High Command Hess, Göring & Fegelein Set WWII – Custom Printed Brick Block Figure

Please note that these brick figures are all compatible with major standard building blocks.

1. Hermann Fegelein (Far Left, Grey Uniform)

• Character Identification: Hermann Fegelein (SS-Brigadeführer / Waffen-SS Commander)

• Detailed Character Description: This figure represents a high-ranking Waffen-SS officer in field dress. He wears a custom-molded Feldgrau (field grey) peaked cap featuring a black velvet band, silver piping, a silver SS eagle, and the Totenkopf (Death’s Head). The torso is printed with a Feldgrau open-collar tunic featuring SS-Brigadeführer oak leaf collar tabs. Around his neck hangs the Knight’s Cross. His chest is heavily decorated with the German Cross in Gold, the Iron Cross 1st Class, and a ribbon bar. The left sleeve features the SS sleeve eagle, while the right sleeve displays an Honour Chevron. The back printing shows detailed fabric creases and a brown officer’s belt. The legs are printed with high black leather riding boots.

• Historical Background: Hermann Fegelein was a senior cavalry commander in the Waffen-SS and later served as Heinrich Himmler’s personal liaison officer to Adolf Hitler. He opportunistically married Gretl Braun, the sister of Hitler’s mistress Eva Braun, to secure his place in the inner circle. During the final days of the war in 1945, Fegelein attempted to desert and flee Berlin. He was caught, court-martialed, and executed by SS guards in the Reich Chancellery garden just days before Hitler’s suicide.

2. Rudolf Hess (Mid Left, Tan Uniform)

• Character Identification: Rudolf Hess (Deputy Führer – Tan Political Uniform)

• Detailed Character Description: This figure portrays the Deputy Führer in his most recognizable political attire. He wears a tan/khaki peaked cap with a red band, a black visor, and a gold party eagle. The torso features a tan political tunic worn over a brown shirt with a black tie and gold party pin. The tunic has pleated breast pockets with scalloped flaps and a brown leather waist belt. The left arm bears the striking red armband (Kampfbinde) with a swastika, mandatory for political officials of the era. The back print captures simple fabric folds and the continuation of the belt. The legs feature wrap-around printing of dark brown leather riding boots.

• Historical Background: Rudolf Hess was one of Hitler’s earliest and most loyal followers, famously helping to transcribe Mein Kampf while they were imprisoned together in the 1920s. Appointed Deputy Führer in 1933, he held immense symbolic power but limited actual military influence. In one of the most bizarre events of WWII, Hess secretly flew a fighter plane to Scotland in May 1941, hoping to negotiate a peace treaty with the British. He was immediately captured, declared insane by Hitler, and spent the rest of his life in prison after being convicted at the Nuremberg Trials.

3. Hermann Göring (Mid Right, White Uniform)

• Character Identification: Hermann Göring (Reichsmarschall & Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe)

• Detailed Character Description: This figure captures Göring in his notoriously flamboyant white summer uniform. He wears a white Luftwaffe peaked cap with a black band, gold trim, and the Luftwaffe flying eagle insignia. The torso features a tailored white double-breasted tunic with wide, gold-trimmed collar tabs. His chest decorations include the Knight’s Cross at his neck, a gold Luftwaffe breast eagle, and the Iron Cross 1st Class. The back of the figure features a printed half-belt to simulate tailored fabric folds. The legs boldly contrast the tunic, molded in Luftwaffe blue-grey with thick white general officer stripes (lampasses) running down the sides, ending in black dress shoes.

• Historical Background: A highly decorated WWI fighter ace, Göring was a central figure in the rise of the Nazi Party, founding the Gestapo and eventually taking command of the Luftwaffe (Air Force). As Reichsmarschall, he was Hitler’s designated successor and amassed massive wealth by looting art across Europe. His prestige shattered after the Luftwaffe failed to win the Battle of Britain or supply the troops at Stalingrad. Captured by the Allies, he was convicted of major war crimes at Nuremberg but committed suicide via cyanide capsule hours before his scheduled execution.

4. Rudolf Hess (Far Right, Black Uniform)

• Character Identification: Rudolf Hess (Deputy Führer – Black SS-Style Uniform Variant)

• Detailed Character Description: This variant depicts Hess in the imposing black M32 service uniform, representing his honorary rank of SS-Obergruppenführer. He wears a black peaked cap with silver piping, the party eagle, and the skull motif. The torso is printed with a black open-collar tunic revealing a tan shirt and black tie underneath. Detailed silver piping outlines the collar and the four pleated pockets. His left arm features the red armband and silver cuff stripes, while his right arm displays the silver Honour Chevron for the Old Guard. The back displays tailored creases, and the legs feature detailed black riding boots with subtle silver highlights for depth.

• Historical Background: While Hess was primarily a political figure, high-ranking Nazi officials were frequently granted honorary ranks within the SS to solidify internal political alliances. During the 1930s, especially at massive party rallies in Nuremberg or state funerals, inner-circle members like Hess would occasionally don this black uniform to project power and unity with Heinrich Himmler’s growing state security apparatus.
