: You have to piece it together. The Afrika Corpse tunic and pants from Cotswald is the best you will find for the body. Black "jackboots" and an Afrika Corpse hat.
There is more than one goof in the uniforms of the Raiders bad guys,the German army did not have specialised tropical uniforms until 1941,the color of this uniform was olive and not sandy tan.The one piece patch on the front of the cap is also wrong for the uniform of the Afrika Korps(the correct insignia for the field cap is a two piece design).21st century toys make a reasonabli inexpensive AFRIKA KORPS soldier and the only things you will have to chanhe are the boots,the cufftitle and tha insignia on the cap.
I hope this helps.

: I made a 12" version of this and even though so far no one makes mustard y-straps for the 12" series, you can get really close this way. If you fade the outfit some ( leave it in the sun a few days) you will get the colors even closer. The outfit in the movie also had no rankings, but this is just a goof from the movie.
