It's kind of incredible just how strong magically Visha is. In one of the last chapters Tanya said to her that she has twice the others' mana capacity, but man, she's even calmer than major during the V-1's launch. I could rant about women withstanding physical pressure and pain better than men, or about Tanya having smaller body, but oh well, fact is, Visha Stronk.
Just compare her countenance on
p.30 to others'.

Also I low-key think that the artist is a KSP fan, with all those side boosters, decoupling, and whatnot.

Did someone get the mural's reference on the bottom of
p.34? Is it the Fall of Rome or something along these lines?

Hey,
this ponytail, who looked like Gantz's friend back in Arene. I thought she was from another unit. It's manga original, as a lot of things here are, but man, this is such a subtle presence. Let alone being a female in this elite squad, she's part of the operation, which means she's at least top 12 among the whole unit. Way to go, ponytail!

Wow, look who we have here, our future reporter Andrew, photographing the realities of War. I may be mistaken, but I think he references a certain real life photographer from the Great War / WWII.

@akomni
damn.. is that 30k ft or metres high?
It's obviously feet, even regular planes these days don't go 30km up. / Actually, it
is feet, source: the same manga and LN.

The rise of Hitler is directly related to the lost and harsh surrender conditions that Germany had to endure
Not Hitler, the whole fascist movement gained popularity for a number of reasons, revanchism being one of them.
You're putting it as if Adolf Hitler was some evil genius mastermind that tricked the whole nation into supporting NSDAP. Sadly, it can't be farther from truth. He was an incredibly talented individual in some ways, but so were others around him. He was becoming of the system that that nation needed. Sadly, this system was quite immoral.
what I'm implying is that Tanya gonna be Hitler of this magic world
There's something really wrong with your knowledge of both the seires' world's and our history's if you think this way. Actually, such a statement could only be made by someone who doesn't know even the mere of basics the first half of the 20th century history. No offence, yet it's a shame. There's no Treaty of Versailles here, for starters.
Empire consists of other nations besides non-germans, hack, Tanya has a slavic name, and Visha is from non-Russia. This Empire has the Austro-Hungarian territory too, which is a key element, since contrasting to North Germany, AH consisted of a number of different ethnic groups, not mentioning the whole north germans not liking south germans thing. This Empire is basically Großdeutschland; the starting conditions for ethnic hatred here are drastically reduced.
@Kirin-kun
just checked and Hitler was actually wounded and decorated with the Iron Cross... under the recommendation of his Jewish superior, Hugo Gutmann..
It wasn't that hard to check. Actually, he was considered somewhat brave during the war. Like many other soldiers.
Well, it's almost as if being the leader of the country that lost WWII and was very infamous for it's ethnic views and policies would really screw the whole future historical point of view about you.
It's been, like, what, 75 years since the War, and not being negative about him is
still considered dangerously inappropriate in most societies.
I mean, most of the population around here (Russia) thinks that the only ones fighting Germany during WWII before D-Day were Soviets. Makes you think, huh?

Page 14, "What's Caesar's goes to Caesar". I believe this to be a bad translation.
See my previous message about this, if interested.

I still don't get how the empire would lose, if they lost this battle.
Goddamn pretty easily they would. The country leaders are not looking for ending this war, they're looking for
winning it among growing international concerns about Empire's potential hegemony. It's not a superman, it's just one country, when pitted against all others. It already had a kind of a stalemate in the beginning of the series, being at war with just a few neighbors. War is incredibly demanding resource-wise, something Tanya says all the time. She did change the balance of power between them, but as in this very chapter Vianto says, she
is just one soldier. It's not implied as ironical lampshading of her influence, it literally says us that no matter who she is, she can't single-handedly change things like this. She, after all, can only be at a place at a time.
@Morihere
I'm not sure if you checked any materials, but the Empire
did loose the war, it was clearly stated in the Andrew chapters, in both LN and manga. What we are left to guess is
how much did it loose. Was it just forcing them into disarming? Or did they literally dismantled the Empire? Or maybe it was a white peace after all?
