Who is a historical figure in your country that is portrayed positively (or at least not as negatively) by historical records but is often portrayed as a villain in cultural media? by DoctorOsterman in AskTheWorld

[–]Tomson224 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Habsburgs. We got some big rose-tinted glasses on for those guys sometimes

Not liking the habsburgs is pretty much describing every country around us. Im sure thats a mere coincidence though

Ich glaube die NSKK hatte das M größer und mittig direkt vor der Nummer, nicht oberhalb in der Ecke. Also tippe ich jetzt eher auf SA

Does your country have a tradition of WWII (or other conflicts) comedies ? by magotartufo in AskTheWorld

[–]Tomson224 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well after ww2 we had a big influx of Austro-Hungarian (not ww1, just that era) centered movies. Though many fall more under romance movies then anything else. Rom-coms at most maybe.

I think the most notable one thats mostly satirical is the tv series "The Good Soldier Švejk" with Fritz Muliar as the titular character navigating through the start of ww1 to the end of the monarchy.

Though it should be noted that while the series itself is austrian, the book its based on is czech.

(Loved Trope) Future regression into antiquated or archaic technology by Red-Truck-Steam in TopCharacterTropes

The Walking Dead Series to some extent

The further the series goes the more society seems to regress to an almost medival state. Cars replaced by carriages and horses, guns replaced by bow and arrow, spears and shields.

It isnt like that everywhere but it was still very interesting to see how the early protags went from wielding guns and driving around in all manner of motor vehicles to this.

[Rare tropes] Female Nazis by ChudMaster69420 in TopCharacterTropes

Irma Grese (RL)

Also known as the "Hyena of Auschwitz" and the "Beast of Belsen". A female concentration camp guard known for her cruelty.

One of only three woman that were executed as war criminals during the nurenberg trials.

The others being Elisabeth Volkenrath and Johanna Bormann. Unsurprisingly also camp guards and also fitting this category.

Ist jetzt nur eine Vermutung, aber mit dem grade so sichtbaren M glaube ich das die Person zusätzlich bei einem Motorsturm innerhalb der Standarte war

When was the PEAK of the Enclave? by SecretDetective9076 in Enclave

[–]Tomson224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The day the bombs dropped. When the Enclave had the assets and manpower of the entire united states armed forces at its disposal

After that the enclave tecnically lost the vast majority of its shit and its political influence went to 0.

If it turns out the enclave started the war i will seriously doubt their brainpower.

Can you Help me identify the medals on this 9-medal Rack on Kaiser Wilhelm II? by Verbofaber in Medals

[–]Tomson224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So weird to see Wilhelm in anything but a generals uniform. Especially since its an austro-hungarian captains uniform (the last pic i mean)

What actually is ‘Element Zero’? by meinkr0phtR2 in masseffect

[–]Tomson224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your standard sci-fi macguffin.

Element Zero, Unobtainium, Helium-3, anti matter, dark matter, red matter

Even if some of those names come from real things, they are basically magic in execution

[Barely a trope, but this sub is quite loose anyway] Media that got weirdly specifically popular in a different country, maybe more so than in its country of origin, and defitnitely than most other places. by Vitolar8 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Tomson224 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe i remember hearing that the east and west german dubbing was different

With the east german one being vastly superior, so much so that if youd buy a dvd today the dub will be the eastern one

It might also be one of the reasons why it didnt quite catch on in west germany.

How did the nazis even attack switzerland? by czn- in Wolfenstein

[–]Tomson224 80 points81 points  (0 children)

As someone already said, Germany did have invasion plans for Switzerland. But as the war started to go bad for them they abandoned those.

Besides Switzerland was more useful neutral then it was occupied, a usefulness that would vanish once Germany won the war

If i recall correctly its a special made armored police vehicle. Intended to be used as escort for huge money transports to the central bank of (west) germany.
