Binoculars from a prone position
The leader is stretched out on the ground with binoculars raised and an MP40 laid in front of him. The model makes observation the immediate task, with the weapon close by rather than being the focus of the pose.
An officer or NCO did not have to stand upright to direct a fight. Keeping low while looking ahead could be as practical as it was for the riflemen. The binoculars suggest an attempt to understand a position or movement, making this a useful counterpoint to the figures already engaging the target.
