History YMMV / Uber

** [[DragonAscendant Joseph Goebbels]] shows that far from being a mere PropagandaMachine, he possesses a greater capacity for evil than anyone thought. After the death of Hitler, Goebbels has an empowered human [[MagicPlasticSurgery modify his face via plastic surgery]] to resemble the Führer, first having dozens, if not hundreds, of luckless souls serve as the guinea pigs so she can reluctantly "hone" her sculpting ability. Upon his ascension, Goebbels announces the war effort will be ramped up and the only option the enemies of the Reich face are capitulation or immolation. This culminated in Goebbels invading the United States, unleashing two battleship-class Übers upon East Coast, leading to catastrophic deaths and the complete annihilation of Washington, D.C.

* SlidingScaleOfPlotVersusCharacters: An interesting example. Gillen has called Uber a "hard-mechanics" story, where the plot at its core is an if-this-happens-then-that-happens exercise in eldritch war technology development rather than a character-driven story. But there are a few well-defined characters who drive plot elements through their own desires and developments, notably Maria.

** The USSR was devastated enough in our World War 2, but here? They lose another 950,000 during the battle of Berlin, then another 400,000 in the aftermath as Stalin forces the survivors to take Wodan's Blood without the proper procedure, and then likely tens of million more as the Germans counterattack (and this time, they can annihilate cities and everyone in them) and reach Moscow again. It's entirely possible that the population of the USSR has halved over the course of the comic. The narration does mention how horrifically the Soviets are suffering, but they are still shown to have a regular army and the effect of such high casualty on their society is not mentioned.
