History Manga / PanzerFrauleinAlteseisen

''Panzerfraulein Alteseisen'' (Kōtetsu no Shōjo-tachi, "Steel Girls") is a {{manga}} written by Tezuka Kazuyoshi and drawn by Nogami Takeshi (under the name of Shiketamiga).

* HilariousInHindsight: When ''VideoGame/WorldOfTanks'' came out, the Ltraktor bears a strong resemblance to the Wolfin. Later VK7201 looks like a Wolfin too.

* MagnificentBastard - The Police Inspector from the Empire. Lieutenant Colonel Clarissa Argaia might also count.

The story is set in another world, where the Kingdom (which is not TheKingdom) is fighting a {{hopeless war}} against the powerful [[TheFederation Federation]]. In order to change the tide, the Kingdom deploys its Wölfin tank, which is still relatively new. However, because of the small size of the tank, its crew has to consist of young girls. These newly-conscripted green units are then mocked as Iron scraps for their lack of training. The story focuses on the everyday life (and more often than not, struggle for sheer survival) of one such unit.

* ArmiesAreEvil - Apparently all federal soldiers with faces are all evil, and the Royal Army is not composed of saints either. The Imperial [[strike:Army]] "Police Garrison" is probably the only army which has not eat a kitten.

* BlackShirt - Seems to have a big influence on the Kingdom, with most high-ranking officers joining them. [[spoiler: They later trigger a mutiny and kill most of the high-ranking officials in the Kingdom.]]

* MagnificentBastard - The Police Inspector from the Empire. Lieutenant Colonel Argaia might also count.

* PointyEars - The people of the dominant ethnicity of the Kingdom have them, which mysteriously still enables them to wear headphones without any problems.

Not to be confused with the happier Anime/GirlsUndPanzer even though they share the same character design.

* TheAlledgedCar: The Wolfin is weaker than most RealLife WWII tanks, but the Lean Wolf is even worse.

Although categorised as a {{Shonen}} manga, there are no heroes in the manga, and most of the manga is used to depict everyday life of the titular girls in the army, often with the harsh battles they encountered. It also depicts a lot of gruesome death and injuries on the field, as well as atrocities commited by both sides of the war.

* ChildSoldier - The Kingdom employed an unit of pre-teen child soldiers as a last resort. Fortunately, they are quickly disbanded and never fought the war. All Kingdom tank crews are teenagers [[TruthInTelevision employed for their size]], because their tanks' projection need to be low enough.

* HopelessWar - The Kingdom is fighting against the entire world, and the situation worsen as the story progress.
