The German toy brand Roskopf embarked on its journey in the mid-20th century. The brainchild of Marcel Roskopf, it rapidly made waves in the toy industry with its highly accurate depictions of military history. Marcel's passion for military history and a sturdy sense of design contributed to the brand's distinct charm and popularity. So successful were Roskopf's toys that the term "Roskopf scale", still used today, was coined to denote the miniature size often implemented by the brand (1:87). Interestingly, despite the focus on military themes, Marcel Roskopf himself was a pacifist, and he viewed his meticulously crafted miniatures as a means of promoting peace and understanding between nations.
