I never saw these toys before but BOY wouldn't it have been swell to have had that burned out village in my neighborhood! Gee-whiz!
Don't you know those baby boomers in post-war Europe had the best of times playing army when they were kids.
"Hey, look Bobby, a real bum!"
"Yes Timmy, and I just found a Gerry luger with a finger still in the trigger."
Back in the early to mid-sixties, some of the greatest faux-killing war toys were made by MARX toys. As a kid - I liked the guns that looked real. Nazi's back then didn't know if they were going to have to play dead or be dead.

Dude I had the ramjet rifle and it did come with a burned out village. My mom was so mad at me. Our entire back yard was filled with a burned out, bombed out french village complete with refugees.
It was a good deal
i envy you - back in the good ol' days people got a lot more for their money.
