In 1941 the Soviet Unionâs fortified borders were manned by units of the NKVD (Peopleâs Commissariat for Internal Affairs). These units were almost entirely destroyed in the first weeks of the campaign. After this, NKVD troops were chiefly used for internal security, but could potentially fight on the frontline as they did at Stalingrad in 1942 and during the Crimean Offensive in 1944.

In the normal course of operations NKVD troops set up âblocking positionsâ just behind the battle line to turn back fleeing troops with machine gun fire if necessary. NKVD checkpoints at bridges and road junctions monitored all traffic behind the front and were sometimes disguised as bridge-building crews or road repair gangs to catch out unauthorised movements. In 1943 the SMERSH (acronym from the Russian for âDeath to Spiesâ) agency was formed as a distinct branch of the NKVD to carry out these tasks.

The figures in this set can also be painted to represent the Border Guards units with their trademark green caps.
