We all know that the pilots and their Striker Units are based off of real pilots and planes, but how much more is there that links SW to real referenes of World War II? Here's a handful that were snagged off the internet. They are seperated by episode and may contain spoilers. Enjoy!

Same here. The songs sang, Sanya's antennae, the operation names, and more were all new to me.

The fact that the panty stealing episode was based on a real event seriously had me floored. Simply awesome.

I love this show.

I only saw a few of these, I could never find them all when I wanted too. Nice job. (^^)d

Yeah, the panty thief thing, when I saw that I was like "Huh? They actually had a basis in real life behind that episode!?". XD

It just goes to show you how much thought was put into the production by everyone involved. This is why you can't just write Strike Witches off as "just another fanservice show."

If i'm not mistaken the 501 squadron was famous for destroying some V-1 rockets and Pierre Clostermann was one of the squad member.
