This is a diorama of a decomposed German soldier next to his machine gun and personal items.


Artist: Dilip Sarkar Mbe. He wrote the following about this model.

"As an historian I have been heavily involved with the identification of 'missing' Second World War dead for many years. That millions remain missing, however, is little-known - as are the varying policies and levels of enthusiasm reflected by various governments.

I work especially closely with the Royal Netherlands Army Recovery & Identification Unit, which processes around 40 cases annually. A few years ago, a 19 - year old panzer grenadier was recovered from the sandy soil between Arnhem and Nijmegen. 

This diorama, based upon the vintage Airfix 1/6 scale skeleton and Dragon Action figures bits, was for a magazine article raising awareness of the issue, and inspired by the discovery of Gunther - whose mortal remains I saw laid out in the lab. So, not your typical diorama, I guess, but hopefully thought provoking..."

For the experts, it was already clear that it's a German model. However, the picture is doing rounds on social media as stated otherwise. Users are claiming that it is the body of an Indian soldier who sacrificed his life defending his motherland during the Kargil war, in 1965: "This is the remains of Hem Singh Jadav of Firozabad who fought till the end with the enemy in Kargil war. His fingers were on the trigger even after his death."

Some also claimed it was a Turkish soldier.
