Nicer Or More Correct German Would Be “Wir Beide Gegen Die Welt” Or Maybe Even “Wir, Gegen Die

Nicer or more correct German would be “Wir beide gegen die Welt” or maybe even “Wir, gegen die Welt”, but this is cooler. Anyway, it means “Us against the world”.

Brandenburg-Prussia and later Kingdom of Prussia was a weird little union. Their territories weren’t connected and Prussia wasn’t part of the HRE, while Brandenburg was one of the elector states - it’s a whole mess basically. And yet, in the 18th century Friedrich II tried to take on half of Europe with that mess of a kingdom, and that seemed to work out for him. Sort of. 

So here is Brandenburg and Prussia, seeing themselves as the underdogs. Whether they were however, is questionable. So I tried to go for an ominous vibe and went with one of my favorite styles for painting!

Amour à la française...

For the sweet @strudelcreme​ 🍨🥧🎀

I hope you’ll enjoy the story

In Dordogne, the Basterds had settled in an abandoned house to await orders for their next mission.

But for now, they were all enjoying the beautiful spring days and relaxing. 

Sitting on a stump, Aldo watched his team relax: Donny, Utivich, Zimmermann and Omar played cards while Sakowitz read a book in his corner. Hirschberg napped under an apple tree, Kagan smoked his cigarette while drawing in his notebook, and Hicox read the newspaper. As for Hugo and Wicki, they were chatting in their native language.

But someone was missing. Fortunately, she arrived!

“Here I am!”

Aldo turned his head and smiled as he saw (Y/N) (L/N), the only woman in the group, arrive. This young 21-year-old woman was recruited for her spying and code-breaking skills. 

If to the Allied secret service she was Agent (L/N), to her fellow soldiers she was (Y/N), their “little fairy.”

They all fell in love with her pretty face and her adorable smile. And of course, all the Basterds loved to play the role of her servant knight.

Even Hugo, the most taciturn of the group, would smile in her presence!

But the one who had the biggest crush on the young woman was none other than Lieutenant Raine. Ever since (Y/N) joined their group, the former bootlegger had fallen under the spell of the young spy.

His men had noticed this and loved to tease him about it, especially Donny.

And they knew that (Y/N) was not insensitive to Aldo’s charm. According to Utivich, they would make a charming couple if the Lieutenant could find the courage to admit his feelings.

In the meantime, Lieutenant Raine was making a pretence of courting the young woman, and that was fine.

Aldo smiled as the young woman greeted the other Basterds, even surprising Hicox with a kiss on the cheek.

She walked over to Raine and said:

“Here I am again, Lieutenant!”

“Please, (Y/N): I already told ya that ya could call me Aldo. When ya say Lieutenant, I feel like an old jackass!”

“But because ya’re old!" shouted Donny, causing his comrades to howl with laughter.

"Shut up, Donowitz!” snapped Raine.

Fortunately for Donny, (Y/N) came to his defence.

“Don’t take it the wrong way, Aldo: he was only joking!”

Aldo would have railed against his sergeant, but the pleading look in her eyes made him give in.

He grumbled:

“Well, that’ll do for this time, Donowitz. But if ya do it again, ya’ll be on night duty for the whole damn week! Do I make myself clear?”

The other Basterds just snickered: all it takes is for (Y/N) to make eyes at the obstinate Aldo Raine to give in.

A little later, the Basterds were eating their provisions around a campfire, chatting happily. While eating a piece of bread, Aldo did not take his eyes off (Y/N). He smiled fondly at the young woman joking with Omar and Hirschberg.

He would never admit it to his men, but he was in love with (Y/N) (L/N). Only, did she feel the same way about him, or did she only appreciate him as a friend? 

There was only one way to find out…
