Hero of the Soviet Union Squad
The Hero of the Soviet Union Squad is comprised of 3 custom LEGO minifigures, made with genuine LEGO parts.
Each of these minifigures is a historical Soviet soldier of the Second World War (also known as the Great Patriotic War). Each of these men distinguished themselves so thoroughly during the Battle of Stalingrad, that they were each awarded the prestigious title of "Hero of the Soviet Union".
Yakov Pavlov was a Soviet Red Army soldier best known for defending “Pavlov’s House” during the Battle of Stalingrad, where a small group of Soviet troops held off repeated German attacks for nearly two months.
Vasily Zaitsev was a legendary Soviet sniper during the Battle of Stalingrad, famous for over 200 confirmed kills and for becoming one of the most feared marksmen of WW2.
Mikhail Panikakha was a Soviet infantry soldier celebrated for his heroic actions during the Battle of Stalingrad, where he continued attacking a German tank even after being set on fire during combat.
