America when he’s not used to the battlefield


Britain had been repeatedly beaten up by Germany in the African war front ever since Germany arrived; however, Britain managed to turn the tables in El Alamein. The British army was pursuing the Axis forces of Germany and Italy in Africa now.

And that’s when the American army arrived.
The American forces, who were complete beginners in fighting in Africa, made quite a lot of blunders when they arrived.

1. They were superbly optimistic.
We’re strong so we’ll get by!

2. They were marvelously simplistic.
It seems the battle hardened Britain had to explain in great detail on why this plan was a bad one and the plan was eventually rejected.

3. They were simply creating more unnecessary work.
America’s boss viewed Britain’s boss as a rival!
This ‘rivalry’ was the cause of many competitions on the battlefield and other pointless things!


“Germany? Let’s kick their ass!” The American army went into battle with this enthusiastic mentality, but due to the army’s inexperience in fighting in Africa and ‘America’s strong! We can do something!’ mindset, the American army received a severe welcoming from Germany. After that, the Italian army captured a parachute brigade.
America’s debut in Africa was unpleasant indeed.


Due to really poor communication and logistic support from both sides, The Britain-American Allied Forces retreated, leaving behind their equipment.

For Soviet Russia, this was a delicious opportunity.

■The volume where Patton uses ammo in large quantities

Recently, I’ve been reading General Patton and African front books every day, and England and America getting in each other’s way is so funny it’s embarrassing.
This American army went to Africa, and initially they were weak from lack of experience, and they have also gotten in England’s way, which was surprising.
After that, they held up England (even though they’re allies…) while demonstrating remarkable power. What are you doing.

Also, some photo of the Italian army grinning and holding a huge white flag,
I’m feeling my heart getting sniped at.

【Silk Hat】 A Rather Dandy Hat

Bits of knowledge on the silk hat that was left out from Hetalia volume 4~~


【Silk Hat】

・A hat with a cylindrical crown, in style among English gentleman in the 18th century.
　People back then all likely wore these with overflowing dandy dandyism.

・On 15th January 1797, John Hetherington, an English haberdasher, donned the hat that shocked the mayor and spectators enough for them to scream, “WHAT THE HELL IS THAAAT”.
　Children cried in fear, dogs wouldn’t stop barking, women fainted and collapsed, among other things.
　No hat can surprise anyone to that extent by itself…

・John was the first person in the world who wore the silk hat
…although such a belief was well known, it seems to have existed even further back somehow.

・In English it’s “Top hat”. In German, it’s “Zylinder”.
　In Chinese, it has the seemingly valuable name “大禮帽”.
・At first, the cylindrical part was longer, but over the course of 100 years, it has shortened considerably.

・Silk hats were often drawn as a symbol of capitalist America, and is a favourite hat for the infamous Uncle Sam.
(In overseas caricatures and country personifications, if they’re wearing a silk hat, it’s England or America)

~ A partial summary of hats that show up a lot as motifs of various countries ~

The hats of South America are also unique and cute!

The British Commonwealth’s Rallying Style in Africa Was Pretty Amazing!

I love Italy when he’s like this! About the second panel, this anti-tank barrier was made by welding H-beams together,so trying to pound at it with a hammer wouldn’t actually do anything.

L3-chan- A petite, cute tank.
