IDF001 “General Moshe Dayan”

Moshe Dayan (1915-1981) was Defense Minister of Israel during the SIX-DAY WAR.  As a former soldier with many years of practical experience he was the right man in the right place at the right time in June 1967.

Our K&C figure shows the one-eyed general on a tour of inspection just after the capture of Old Jerusalem on 7 June ’67.  He wears simple, olive drab fatigues, his pistol belt and an old British Paratrooper helmet as he makes his way forward.
