Thank you for the translation. Do you think the flats in the box are what is written on the box top?

Have you counted the flats ?
At least there is one 'reiter' in the set ...
They look like German uniforms , XXth century

There is only 49 figures in the box. About half have blue uniforms and the other half have grey uniforms. Also I can't ID the flag that one set is holding.
