! World War 1 went much longer then expected !

This explains why girls ride tanks in this universe instead of men.
The supplimentary material states that tanks were invented in 1920 and were designed for women to drive instead of men. This is because when tanks were finally invented the first world war had stretched out year longer then it did in our world. Women were drafted into the military but the attitude of protecting women still endured. The idea was suggested that perhaps they could combat in a situation where physical strength would be less needed, not as GI's in the dirty trenches but as delicate flowers behind several inches of steel. This put the men of the time at ease, believing that their women were safe but still in battle with them. After the war tank driving became a sport however until World War 2 which went as scheduled.

!Oarai actually loses in the season finale.
* But the fight is so impressive that whatever group is threatening to shut the school down agrees to let it keep going. Potential reconciliation with one of the mothers (either Miho's or Hana's, although it looks like they might be setting up for the latter one at the end of the Pravda match anyways) is optional.

* If you take a good look at the OP, you'll see that every team are introduced with their animal. (Ex: Angler fish phone chain for Team Miho, Turtle Laptop for Team Student Council) If you look at the blackboard behind three girls with the bunny ears, grey hair and eye-patch, you'll see that they are Team Anteater. While during the intro for the vehicle club you'll see the Lion sticker on the Mechanic's Creeper. Considering that we are introduced to the Vehicle Club already, it makes sense that the TIGER goes to the Lion Team

Introducing my observations


They haven't even been seen in the background, and the brief glimpse of them in the opening credits almost looks like they are being introduced to the class, like transfer students would. They could have easily decided to leave Black Forest due to badmouthing somebody they admired for risking her life for another tank crew, probably even were the crew of the tank that fell in the water. Given that they would probably experienced tankers and used to dealing with German designs, putting them in the Tiger would be a major uptick for the home team.

**** Well against 122 mm you ''[[ArmorIsUseless really don't want to get hit]]'' no matter which tank you use so in that case you use an option (as colleague above pointed out) which limits your offensive capabilities the least. ''[[TheAllegedCar I-Go]]'' has the least effective gun due to extremely low muzzle velocity an if they use Type 89A it is completely useless in these weather conditions due to the engine.

*** Ironically, in their match with Pravda (who field an absolutely devastating 122-mm D-25T on their IS-2 and positively enormous bunker-busting 152-mm M-10 howitzer on KV-2), Ooarai uses ''[[TheAllegedCar I-Go]]'' for a flag tank, invalidating your logic. If anything, they've should put it on a B1 bis, as it can take a serious punishment, but they still put their flag on that wet-cardboard-armored sloth. It's possible that the flag tanks are assigned at random.

** Ooarai doesn't have any tank that can take too much punishment so they chose lighter more agile tank which still has some armor (I-Go's armor is at risk even if you spit on it), on the other hand even Black forest's Tiger I can deflect most of the incoming fire without penetration and Tiger II (with production turret) is almost impossible to penetrate unless you get lucky from point blank range (at least with weapons Ooarai has) and Maus goes even further.

!''Girls und Panzer'' universe

Some time in the past, for some reason maybe globe sea levels rose (which happened any way but may not have been the cause), oil ran out, or some other reasons world war three broke out.

now this was not a quick war by any streatch of the imagniations whole generations went by in a rolling ceaseless combat in the end the nations had to start drafting women and since women are (genearly speaking) less strong as men it was decided to make tank crews mostly female and men were given positions in the infanty all the nations did this explain the universal fisination of tank combat among women.

But even that was'nt enough and the war went on still for geneartions, whole generations where born with the war rageing, and died of old age it still going on. Inevtable perhapes, the war when atomic.

All sides won, all sides lost in a fury of muteral distruction and all that where left were scattered bands of survivors who banded together into a simblence of goverment

Obviously Girls und panzer takes place a LONG time after that war so the planet has recovered (at least where the humans live) and the human civlzation is pretty much fine as well.

! a WMG on Miho's DarkAndTroubledPast
* Miho states in the first episode "I was always called unreliable at my last school." There must have been a rather serious case of constant harrassment and bullying by Erica and others back at Black Forest Peak, possibly because a mere freshman was being made vice-commander. Maho might have been involved (possibly misinterpreting it as good natured teasing?), but she was more likely unaware. Miho's lack of self confidence and clumsiness shown in the first episode have to be from a long campaign of wearing her self confidence down. The harrassment and bullying brought about the incident where Miho's tank fell in the ocean and she nearly drowned. Possibly other crewmates were not so lucky as Miho. Maho's cold shoulder is because she blames herself for what happened. She still cares, but doesn't know how to show it. (the helicopter offer is proof). The end result is Miho is suffering, rather badly, from [=PTSD=], which her new friends are only partially compensating for.
