HAT AWI Hessians

This brand new set from HAT Industrie depicts the famous Hessian troops of the American War of Independence. These German auxiliary soldiers, employed by the British Crown during the Revolutionary War, earned a reputation for their discipline, battlefield effectiveness, and distinctive uniforms. Hessian regiments fought in many major engagements throughout the conflict, including White Plains, Fort Washington, and the pivotal Battle of Trenton.

Often referred to as mercenaries, the Hessians were in fact highly trained professional soldiers drawn from several German states, most notably Hesse-Kassel. Their most famous action came on 26 December 1776, when George Washington crossed the icy Delaware River and launched a surprise attack at Trenton, capturing nearly 1,000 Hessian troops in a dramatic American victory that helped change the momentum of the war.

This detailed 1:72 scale figure set captures the appearance and character of these elite soldiers with excellent historical accuracy. An ideal addition for collectors, wargamers, and enthusiasts of the American Revolutionary War.
