High Hit-- ler....??? wait WHAT?!...

Don't cry for me Gensokyo!

Because all evil mastermind wears a cape?

>High Hitler
:|

Nazrin - Maus (Big German prototype tank, name means Mouse)
Kosaga - Fallschirmjager/Paratrooper (Late-war FG 42, Surprise Air Raids)
Ichirin - Panzerfaust (German RPG, name means Panther [BRO]FIST)
Murasa - U-Boat (Flagship boat of the Kriegsmarine/German Navy)
Shou - King Tiger (VERY common late-war German tank)

With the German WWII theme amongst the UFO Bosses in this series of works by fat, it was only natural that Byakuren (the group leader) would be Hitler.

I'm kinda curious as to whether or not fat will do Nue, and if he does with what?

You mean all those Nazis in the old newsreel footage aren't just waving and saying "Hi, Hitler"? Go figure.

Yeah...I've been pronucing Nazrin's name as Nazi-rin for a while now too....
Don't give me that look, it's really similar. All she's missing is one more I.

Nue might be either one of the german secret weapons (V1, V2 or one of those jet fighters) or... The Gestapo.

Or possibly the experimental aircraft that never used in the war...

I'm sorry, but being a native german speaker requires me to correct this.

Panzerfaust actually means Tank-fist. Panzer is the german word for tank (literally "armour"), quite probably from gepanzertes Fahrzeug (armoured vehicle). (I believe this was pointed out before in another picture of this set.)

About "U-Boat" ... "U-boot" simply means any militay Submarine in general (U-boat being short for Unterseeboot, meaning underwater boat. Civil submarines are usually called Tauchboote, diving boats). During the early Second World War, the Nazi military attack Submarines were called "Graue Wölfe" (Grey Wolves), who hunted in "Wolfsrudeln" (wolf packs). Later supply submarines called "Milchkühe" (Milk cows) also appeared. I am not too well versed in the Tohou universe, but maybe there's a reference there.

Looked at the Pixiv description. Yep. The artist admitted that he did use Hitler and Nazism as a basis for these artworks, particularly Byakuren's.

"Go, shoot without mercy. After all, who now remembers PC-98?"

This had to happen sooner or later.
When I read Murasa and Reimu's dialogue for the first time, first thing that came to my mind was "Hitler".

Hail hijiri lets make a perfect ari...wait hijiri's asian

The Tiger was a VERY limited-edition tank comparatively (though very high quality in trade for low production numbers). The Tiger II (aka Königstiger aka King Tiger) was even more rare on top of being a late-war tank. 492 were built, compared to the Tiger I at roughly 1,347, the Sherman series at 49,234, and the T-34 series at 84,070.
