'Characters/Scene from' Anthony O: 'The Fall of Berlin 1945' - Assault on the Reichstag

For the challenge I have painted up a German soldier vaulting a fallen eagle during the assault on the Reichstag. The soldier is 28mm and from the Raus blister pack by Warlord Games and the eagle and base are from Heer 46.

The inspiration for this is a Soviet movie titled 'Fall of Berlin 1945' released in 1950 and in part has room by room fighting for the Reichstag which can be viewed in YouTube. The combat is brutal and at times hand to hand and I have tried to represent the feeling of the battle in my little simple scene.

The German soldier is not depicted in the film vaulting an eagle however I feel it represents the fighting the film is showing as the Russian soldiers advance through the rubble as Germans defend and counter attack.
