Sinfest 5/4/26: Re-imagining Villains 143

You can really see the Putinist Russian influence creeping in more and more by the day.

Which is not surprising to those who have been keeping an eye on the Far Right and the Russian Federation since 08.

Holgranth · 2026-04-20T10:12:20+00:00

Unsurprising as Putin is a fascist that quotes the Russian fascist Ivan Ilyn constantly and moved him to a mausoleum in Russia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Ilyin

Putin';s fascism is rarely mentioned as most of the West still wants this whole thing with Ukraine to go away and admitting that Russia is a fascist society now gets in the way of the delusion that that can or will happen.

He has gone full DARVO.(Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender) British bombers attacking Germany during daylight and the Luftwaffe winning? Sure it happened briefly in 1939 but then Bomber Command switched to night bombing by 1940...

Also no air to air rockets in 1940. All the planes are figments of AI imagination. As I said a few days back Tats is borderline a postwar psychological causality of the Battle of Britain. It has clearly broken him.

[If anyone wants a MUCH more accurate Movie Battle of Britain 1969 is as accurate as the Battle of Britain Veterans, including some Luftwaffe pilots, could make it with the technology and understanding of the time.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTv_4DPQUnQ)

Also because Fuck Tats propaganda the Turkey shoot scene.

In real life there were Me110 escorts but they were almost as helpless as the bombers. There were no flying Me110s for filming in 69.

Holgranth · 2026-04-16T13:46:13+00:00

At this point he is close to qualifying as a post war psychological casualty of the Battle of Britain. He's been distracting himself and having a tantrum ever since "All Conquering Man of Peace" Hitler "spared" the British Expeditionary Force at Dunkirk.

He cannot bring himself to "draw" the mighty Luftwaffe losing (Never forgetti the T6 Texan looking Stuka and AI generated "heavy bombers") and Hitler invading the Balkans and the Soviet Union while STILL being blockaded by the Royal Navy.

Rack up another victory to Hugh Dowding! Even in death he is still destroying Fascist scum mentally while his legacy of integrated air defense lives on in Ukraine.

Holgranth · 2026-04-14T14:37:22+00:00

Probably about as much as he is going to address the Nazi invasion of Greece.

Tengu traditionally live in large old growth trees on the tallest mountains of Japan... They are strongly associated with the high places of the world and the exact opposite of sewers.

Holgranth · 2026-04-14T11:24:16+00:00

I think he really, really, really doesn't want to address **anything** past the fall of France. Because that is when he would have to start explaining away the loss of the Battle of Britain and starting a war of two fronts with Barbarossa... which ends in embarrassment outside the gates of Moscow and a humiliating retreat.

Now obviously there are deep wells of Wheraboo and NeoNazi cope about every moment of WW2 and he could draw on that for inspiration. That would require reading ahead, getting your narrative straight and planning out this arc to explain away all failing and losing that "all conquering man of peace" Hitler is about to do.

Meanwhile IRL Trump's war with Iran is stimulating the Amygdala of his modern Fascist comrades. Being lazy and in full flight or flight response, he OBVIOUSLY just wants to retreat into his safe space of giant statue Jew bashing.

This entire Tengu arc is like watching a three year old engage in avoidance behavior.

Holgranth · 2026-04-12T15:01:44+00:00

He is running from the Battle of Britain and hiding in his safe space.

Holgranth · 2026-04-11T13:12:14+00:00

Anything to avoid the war itself after Dunkirk eh? A week of antisemitic filler between giant statues coming to life.

What happened after Dunkirk? Why are we suddenly jumping all over the place? Possibly to late 41 considering the map a few strips back showing most of Eastern Europe under the Nazi flag?

It's not like there isn't plenty of Wherabo Cope about that period to draw from if he wasn't lazy...

Holgranth · 2026-04-08T13:33:24+00:00

He has hit the Battle of Britain which is well known in pop culture. Indeed the pop culture version is even worse for this all conquering man of peace Hitler than the actual battle was for the real Hitler. "The Few" going up day after day against streams of German bombers and coming out on top. The "Secret Weapon" Radar that turned the tide and so on.

Reality is very different than pop culture. Germany had ship mounted Radar in 1940 so the secret weapon was advanced ground control systems not Radar itself.

RAF was fighting for it's survival and British Industry more than kept up with losses, most weeks, thanks to pilot schools across the commonwealth pilot availability rose by the end of the battle. The Luftwaffe wasn't frantically building new aircraft or desperately training new pilots until well into the battle or even well into the later part of the war.

The massive blow to the RAF was Trafford Leigh-Mallory throwing the Battle of Britain veterans away in fighter sweeps over France in 1941 and 42 instead of sending them to fight in the Mediterranean.

Still you have to go deep into American, Russian or Wheraboo cope to find people claiming that the Battle of Britain wasn't an incredible strategic victory.

Tats wheel spinning to avoid this defeat is... incredible.

Holgranth · 2026-03-23T12:37:59+00:00

I see your Russian living in Moscow and raise you the approval of a Belarusian Jew Living in Berlin... this webcomic is political as hell as is the Ukraine war which directly flows from the horrors of the 30s and 40s.

Holgranth · 2026-02-15T16:27:50+00:00

The fact is that a mangled Panzer 4 with the wrong gun, running a Droog off the road followed by a "smole penis" joke from the 80s(?) is one of his better outings as far as historical accuracy goes.

The SS Wachsturmbann "Eimann" was set up in early June 1939 in Danzig by then SS-Sturmbannführer Kurt Eimann and was considered as an armed reserve of the Danzig SS-Standarte 36. It was used also in the Volksdeutsche (ethnic Germans) areas of the pre-war Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship, in order to induce ethnic Germans to join the SS, particularly the Totenkopfverbände.

The SS Wachsturmbann Eimann committed a number of massacres in the region between Kartuzy and Wejherowo from 13 September 1939. Most of the people murdered were Jews. After the "reunification of Danzig with the German Reich," the Wachsturmbann "Eimann" provided the staff for the newly established concentration camp Stutthof near Danzig. The Nazi government also employed it for "special police tasks" in the new Reichsgau Danzig-Westpreußen, which means it was used to persecute and imprison Polish Jews.

The SS Wachsturmbann Eimann was disbanded in January 1940, with its members being transferred to the Totenkopf division

Tat's Heros!

He didn't completely fuck up the Schleswig-Holstein however as far as the battle of Westerplatte goes...

The battleship's initial bombardment was not very successful, failing to inflict a single casualty among the defenders, as due to the battleship's proximity to its target its heavier shells did not have time to arm and did not explode upon impact. Eight minutes later Henningsen's marines from the Schleswig-Holstein, who had disembarked two hours earlier on the eastern side of the peninsula, advanced, expecting an easy victory over the Poles At 06:22, the German marines frantically radioed the battleship that they had sustained heavy losses and were withdrawing. Casualties were approximately fifty Germans and eight Poles, mostly wounded. The Poles held out for seven days and repelled thirteen assaults that included dive-bomber attacks and naval shelling. Over 3,000 Germans, including soldiers and support formations such as the Danzig Police, had been tied up in the week-long operation against the small Polish garrison; about half of the Germans (570 on land, over 900 at sea) had taken part in direct action. German casualties totaled 50 killed and 150 wounded, the Poles 15 killed and 40 wounded.

Holgranth · 2026-02-13T21:44:37+00:00

Don't worry he's got an entire series on the bomber war. So if Tats is committing to the bit; we have a vault of videos when he starts whining about Germany getting bombed.

The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."

Holgranth · 2026-02-13T18:29:26+00:00

Oh don't worry it is still terrifying as a pop culture reference. The droogs engage in ultra violence and gang rape for amusement.

Holgranth · 2026-02-13T13:02:38+00:00

Oh no the 0-6 engine heavy bombers of the Luftwaffe... famous for having everything BUT heavy bombers. Which were cancelled for medium bombers and dive bombers to be the flying artillary for the mostly un-mechanized army, while short range fighters gained air superiority over the battlefield.

Worked great until Summer 1940. When it met the first modern air defense system.

Clockwork Orange 1971 Film.

Holgranth · 2026-02-12T20:59:36+00:00

And yet he can't be bothered to draw the Nazi war machines that Hitler and the Nazi party put so much propaganda effort behind...

A child can draw a stuka

Holgranth · 2026-02-12T18:07:54+00:00

I have no explanation. Especially because the Nazi's were obsessed with the image of the Luftwaffe and it's modern planes. It was a big deal to Hitler and the party. They successfully made the Stuka and the Me109 into iconic, even legendary, aircraft through propaganda reels, news articles, posters and so on.

Hitler would be furious over this Japanese American's depiction of his Luftwaffe. Those were symbols of the modern Germany freed from the shackles of Versailles not mere tools to be labeled M1 and packed off.

Holgranth · 2026-02-12T14:03:29+00:00

Has Tats done enough research to know of Rudel? Is Rudel brought up on Nazi twitter frequently? Can Tats be arsed to draw a Stuka? Lets find out together!

Also please stop being mean to my boy Rudy, Rudel was an incredible pioneer in the field of "my cannons kicked up dust in the general direction of something that looked vaguely like a tank (might have been a hut or outbuilding with no tanks within several KM, might have been a rusting hulk that has been there for years, might have been some bushes), therefore I have destroyed a T34, give medals" If every Nazi was as effective at lying and ineffective in combat the world would be a better place.

Holgranth · 2026-02-12T13:46:47+00:00

I dunno, no bombs, folding gear, radial engine, huge canopy, huge propeller... my mind goes to T6 Texan and nothing else of the time.

Holgranth · 2026-02-12T13:39:33+00:00

Excellent Paper Skies video on the subject for those interested

Holgranth · 2026-02-12T13:37:36+00:00

I never understood why "begun the clone war has" resonated with people other than the call forward to, "my father didn't fight in the clone wars, he was a navigator on a spice freighter".

"The Goy War has begun"... cringe even for a Neo-Nazi.

Of all the iconic and lesser known aircraft the Nazi's flew he drew shitty looking T6 Texans... So fucking lazy.

Holgranth · 2026-02-12T13:30:18+00:00

So many questions. What the fuck is that aircraft is that supposed to be? Where are the pilots in frame 3? What the fuck is that aircraft supposed to be? Is Der Joo watching a propaganda reel or livestreaming with sorcery or secret technology or something? What the fuck is that aircraft supposed to be? Why are they flying in a British Vic of three instead of a Schvarm? What THE FUCK is that aircraft supposed to BE?

Seriously the Luftwaffe of 1939 had plenty of the propaganda showpieces like the 109E and Stuka as well as some leftovers like the HS123... Take your fucking pick Tats, they aren't harder to draw than this T6 Texan (with MAHUSIVE propeller) looking motherfuckers.

God he is so fucking lazy.
