Think of the [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo most famous conflict of the last century.]]

Now think of it with [[VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles some changes.]]

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5430641/1/Battlefield_Gallia Battlefield Gallia]]'' is a fanfic concerning a [[AlternateUniverse rewritten history,]] told from the points of view of [[OriginalCharacter Original Characters]] such as Captain Von Groebel, and [[FaceHeelTurn Dishonorably Discharged]] Fredrick "Fritz" Adler, of the German army, and established characters such as Alicia Melchiott, and the occasional [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler real-life German]] and [[UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini Italian dictator]], though the former only appeared in the geopolitical setting-up of things.

!!Examples:

* {{AKA47}}: Bengal Tigers are the real-life King Tiger, though they only use the name "Bengal Tiger" from the German point-of-view. Played straight with the M1941 Johnson and StG-44 (which are referred to by the names ''M4 Johnson'' and StG-41.)
* AllGermansAreNazis: Averted; in fact, despite being set in the Wehrmacht during 1939-1945, the 9th has a pretty distinct ''lack'' of Nazis.
* AlternateHistory: Starting with Gallia. Then it's all downhill, history-wise, from there.
* AttemptedRape: [[spoiler: Adler, to Alicia. WordOfGod is that Selka did it to prevent him from going out with Alicia/Adler. It seems to have worked.]]
%%** [[spoiler: [[RapeAsDrama Not-so-attempted]] later on.]]
* AnyoneCanDie: At a slow rate, albeit, but they can all die. [[spoiler: Including Welkin.]]
* {{Crossover}}: With ''Film/InglouriousBasterds'' and ''VideoGame/CodenamePanzers''.
* CrossoverCameo: Look for Sergeant Schultz from ''Series/HogansHeroes'' in there.
* DirtyCommunists: When the 9th goes against the Russian army, you can predict what their overall opinion of the Russians are.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Selvaria is disgusted when a Russian Commisar fires upon ''his own men''.
* {{Expy}}: Schneider; He's a [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Pyro]], after all.
** Elaborating on this, Oleg Vodnik (the older Vodnik brother, the younger being Sergei) seems to [[CargoShip like his DP Machine Gun,]] [[ICallItVera Ludmilla,]] as though it/she was a person. To add to the squick, [[BrotherSisterIncest he considers it his sister]]. It is quite clear RedShocktrooper plays ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2''.
** From one of the Roleplays the Author takes part in, Harold Maldonado and Adam Wade both appeared in chapter 44.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Sargent Adler gets one, as a result of his [[StalkerWithACrush liking of Alicia,]] and [[AttemptedRape what that results in]].]]
* ShoutOut: The name, to games such as ''VideoGame/{{Battlefield}} 1942''.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: The Author confessed that Bergmann's squad B could be a fairly literal take on the "Squad" part. They are later killed off-screen in the battle of Stalingrad.
* StalkerWithACrush: [[spoiler: Adler is heavily implied to be one of these.]]
* TankGoodness: Assault Matildas, Bengal/King Tigers.
* TranslationConvention: You can generally tell the fic's current POV by whether or not VC characters are speaking German (or, are speaking with accents).
** Doubles, at least to me, the Author, as a degree of Fetish Fuel. Come now, there was reasoning behind me giving Marina a German Accent.
* PuttingOnTheReich: 2nd Lieutenant Klaus Werner. Before he gets sniped, at least.
** [[spoiler: Adler, to a degree, after what he [[FaceHeelTurn becomes a bad guy]], since he steals an SS Officer's uniform and Identification.]]
* OneSteveLimit: Averted, and played with. There are multiple characters named "Hans" (Hans von Groebel, Hans Bieber, Hans the porcavian, etc), and the rule is then bent on itself with Edward Nelson, who responds to Eddie (Compare to Edy Nelson). He's a [[MoreDakka Bren Gunner]], and his name is lampshaded.
** Edward: Did I ever tell you about my cousin who...
** Smith: Yes, you've told me about Edy thirty times now!
* [[DopeSlap Wade Thunk]]: US Army 501st Infantry Battalion. Sergeant Adam Wade to Harold Maldonado.
