Description So this is a sketch of a Fourth Reich Soldier for the post-apocalypse universe that I'm slowly building up.  It takes place primarily in Berlin, Germany where it's about two centuries after the world not unlike ours was scorched with nuclear fire.  In Berlin there's two giant factions and one of them is the Fourth Reich, they aim to purify the human race in this post-nuclear world via atrocities and whatnot.  They base their weapons off of WW2 relics and update them to iron out the flaws in the old relics, their uniforms are quite like the Third Reich's but will not be exact.  Their main symbol is the swastika with the Roman numeral "IV" (4) beneath it.

I'm not an expert on military stuff so I went with what I felt was logical for this soldier's uniform/armor.  The stahlhelm was quite tricky for me and it looks a bit...dinky.  I previously complained about how I drew my weapons too small but now the Sturmgewehr in his hands is a little big however much better than the previous time I drew it!  Hands are getting better thanks to a technique I found.  So do anticipate more of this kind of stuff, I guess it's concept art for this universe that I still don't have a name for.  It isn't just gonna be Nazis though, there'll be more than that.

But I can sense the Metro 2033 inspiration here.

Seems I got quite the ironic situation going on with this soldat, thanks for the tip though!
