Great Britain
While much smaller than those of the main continental powers, the British Army had a fierce tradition of professionalism, and by the end of the war had grown to over 3 million men. Even during the retreats of 1940 this professionalism never wavered, and helped turn the tide of the Axis advance. This culminated in June 1944 when they stormed across the English Channel and onto the beaches of Normandy - while the Red Devils of the British Airborne had parachuted their way behind enemy lines to capture key objectives which would pave the way for the liberating Allied forces to then sweep back across Europe.
That's not to mention the Commonwealth troops of Africa, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand and South Africa who shared much of the same equipment - and fought throughout Europe, Africa, the Far East and beyond - meaning that these models from the Bolt Action range cover a vast swathe of the Second World War.
