The Schwarzer Major (Black Major in English) was the German version of the Red Shadows Black Major. They were the same figure but the German version did not have the Red Shadows skull emblem. he came with secret code plans which were different to the originals-the skull emblem was removed and there was a picture of an island instead. He also came with a black gun that was also supplied with the Star Wars figure 4-Lom.
In 1983 Germany released their versions of Action Force as Anti-Terror Teams and Terror Teams. In Germany the logos on the figures were all changed and instead of replica guns they had weapons that looked less-real! The German toy boxes were all cardboard and did not have plastic windows like in other countries.
