Take a step back in time with this WW2-inspired set of chessmen - perfect for historians and collectors alike!

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt served as the US President from 1933 until 1945 and headed this American force. His right-hand man is the high-ranking Sergeant Major of the Army, whilst the bishop stands proud as a platoon sergeant major overseeing ranks of the smartly dressed pawns. The rooks and knights are the exciting pieces in this set, portrayed as the flag-bearing White House and a dramatic tank.

Hitler is easily recognised with his trademark moustache and haunted look. He is flanked by high-ranking officers on either side, both of whom are incredibly detailed. They, in turn, oversee the rank of smartly uniformed pawns who are presenting arms. The rook is a superbly detailed Reichstag building bearing the Swiss flag. Again, a spectacular tank represents the knights on this side.

We have matched these lovely historical pieces with a stunning 40cm walnut and maple Spanish chessboard to give you The Hitler Vs Roosevelt Second World War chess set. With or without the chessboard, this makes a perfect gift for a World War II or chess enthusiast.

Please note that as these pieces are hand-painted, there may be some inconsistencies in the level of detail and colour and therefore your pieces may be very slightly different from the images shown. Any inconsistencies, however, are minimal.
