[scanlation] Polish Swedish Wars 1598 (1621)-1629

Scanlation time!

I figured since [livejournal.com profile] equivalent_t is doing the main story, I'll try to do the scanlations of the manga listed on the Hetalia timeline.

So here is the Polish-Swedish Wars manga!

Scanlated by yours truly, with help from [livejournal.com profile] hime1999 on page one, cuz I had problems with the receiving verb conjugation XD;

Ranting underneath, lol.


Also, just my luck that Sweden has a THICK Tohoku (North-Eastern Japan) accent.  It's really more like grunt-speak (I listen to my staff speak it), so I tried to make it sound like that...and to make matters worse, Poland has a thick Nagoya accent, which can only be described as...valley-girl-ish.  So...yeah...

Oh, and the knight Poland and Lithuania are fighting against is a Knight of the Teutonic Order, which is kinda like a predecessor to Prussia/Germany.

I'm serious! A man dressed like that is called a husarz. When I've searched for the English word this is what I've found: husarz m (Gpl husarzy) Hist., Wojsk. Polish winged cavalryman a. Hussar (in the 16th-17th centuries)

Well, I also searched for some hussary in action. And here it is, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iml4jJ0wlfc You get to see some scenes from films based on books that Polish pupils have to read at school:3

well, true is that wings were installed to saddles so it wasn't dress and that was for purpose to frightening opponents -all was psychological and it was effective! xD husaria's charge almost always ended with victory and was very valuable in all battle ;)

sorry if there were some mistakes, I'm not as good in english (I'm from Poland xD)
