Something else that occurred to me as I was reading this is that Tanya is absolutely right to be terrified that she's gotten in major trouble over her conduct during the hunt for the Scandinavian fleet. The higher-ups let her off the hook and blame the navy because she's the protagonist, but it...

I love how @Morihere got hit with spoiler tags by the mods for speculation that doesn't actually happen LMFAO

@arcoviain But did the Kirov-class have its torpedo tubes where Tanya was aiming? That's the key. In general, I hate the flash-forwards and I choose to ignore them. I much prefer the general post-war outline in the fanfic "A Young Woman's Political Record", though it's not perfect either. In...

@Morihere You sure sound like a yuri lover to me. Can't they just have a sisterly relationship?

@Fushiginiku Tanya most definitely does not see herself as a child. Completely understandable. Also, this chapter just further drives home how impossible it is for her to be forgotten. Everyone in the Empire knows of her. I HATE that supposed "40 years later" BS

@Liquidxlax He was talking about Mary, who was not malnourished as a kid like Tanya. Mary grew up in a healthy and loving home. @ZelousR2 Yeah, the various other countries in this story are incredible hypocrites. Whatever you might say about Germany IRL, Germany in this story are the...

@ZelousR2 That's kind of the point. All the Allies calling her the "Devil" are massive hypocrites with severe moral myopia. Tanya really is just doing her job as a soldier (killing the enemies of her country), but she's somehow evil for doing the exact same thing they're doing, just to their side.

Flying around in the sky of Scandinavia in wintertime, buck naked. If Tanya didn't have magic, she'd have been an icicle in minutes. As it was, I imagine the primary reason her troops rushed to get her clothed was to preserve her dignity

@arcoviain In the anime, they show a single Bayern-class. I think we can safely assume that the Empire is fielding all of WW1 Germany's dreadnoughts.

@Kabeidon maybe the manga hates Communists because Communists are far worse than Nazis and killed tens of millions more people? Just a thought? Also, Tanya outright calls Hitler "demonic", so don't even start with trying to say it favors the Nazis.

Seems like @Kabeidon is really missing the point of just about everything in the manga, and military history as well.

@SpaceFootballKing "Or not and the empire wins the war, changing future events so none of this future 40 years bullshit happens." Best outcome. I despise everything about the flashforwards so much. Not canon as far as I'm concerned. Love Adorable!Tanya playing with the dog. The manga really...

I love the rare flashes of Tanya acting like a child/acting kind and loving. That it's so rare makes it all the more precious.

I love everything about SoP except the treatment it gives KMM. It directly contradicts both the anime and Phase Erika, and it's the worse for it. This chapter in particular goes over the line. "Winning isn't everything"-- WTF?! That is the exact opposite of what KMM is all about! PARTICULARLY...

@SotiCoto The only things better in the anime were the uniform designs of the French/Scandinavians/Romanians.
