Since this thread was about WWII uniforms and figures, I thought that I would toss in a little levity. As a young USAF Capt in the mid 1960s, I had a TSGT working for me, that had immigrated after WWII, gained citizenship and joined the USAF. Just before graduating from boot camp, he was told to report to his tack officer. He reported in and the tack officer said, "According to your military records, you served in WWII in the North African and European Theaters. Why aren't you wearing those ribbons?" He replied, "Because I was working for the other side." The officer replied, "The regulation dose not specify whose army you served with, only that you participated. Put them on!" It seems bureaucrats are the same the world over.
