For people adoring playing and collecting toy soldiers (Elastolin, Lineol, Durso, Britains, Marx, Timpo, Starlux and many others). I am presenting images of vintage toy soldiers as a historical curiosity without endorsement of any political ideology and propaganda of war.

Deutsches Zinnfigurenmuseum German Tin Figure Museum (Plassenburg)
The Plassenburg castle (The city of Kulmbach in Bavaria) is home to the largest collection of tin figures in the world. Founded in 1929, the museum now has more than 300,000 individual figures. Around 150 dioramas bring history to life in miniature.
Visitors can marvel at classical hunts and encounter Romans, Germanic peoples, knights and lansquenets. They can also witness Frederician and Napoleonic battles, discover foreign continents, meet figures from the world of fairytales or experience the magic of scenes from famous paintings. The world of tin figures offers unlimited opportunities to experiences fantastical journeys and adventures.
