Line 10:
There are two film adaptations (one of which starring Bonvi himself) which, however, weren't well received at all by everyone.
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[
* [[Afraid of Blood]]: Sadly enough the Medic.
* [[The Alcoholic]]: The drunken captain (implied to be a sort of [[Author Avatar]]). To the point that when he's mortally wounded the blood from his wounds emit a strong smell of Alcohol.
Line 24:
* [[Blob Monster]]: The Cook ends up turning the lunch into an amorphous, [[Nigh Invulnerable]] monster that feeds on soldiers.
* [[Brother Chuck]]: The Little Prussian Vedette (a parody of a character from another Italian work).
* [[But You Screw One Goat!]]: When we see the stableman in charge of the camels (who hasn't seen a woman in years) we see him sitting between two camels with lipstick and eyelashes. He also brings them on a date or dance with them amongst various things.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Everyone, usually the soldiers.
* [[Camera Fiend]]: The Ally of the Rising Sun is initially shown as the typical japanese tourist stereotype.
Line 49:
* [[Giant Mook]]: "Gorilla" Franz, who's employed by Galeazzo Musolesi as his trusty bodyguard/minion.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: See above in the description.
* [[I Ate What?]]: Played straight when is revealed that the Cook often use suspicious ingredients like [[Serial Escalation|boiled tires, motor oil, horses' carcasses, leaves and dangerous chemicals]] in his food. Inverted when a soldier tries to murder the Sergeant by putting a rattlesnake in his mess tin. The Sergeant mistakes it for an [[Extreme Omnivore|eel and devours it with much pleasure.]]
* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]: The new team of snipers. The huge glasses they're wearing should give you a clue. This is also used as a gag during the "extermination" arc.
* [[Inscrutable Oriental]]: Parodied with the Japanese soldier, who tries to hump the crossdressing soldier spy Otto the istant he crosses his line of sight.
* [[Invisibility]]: A story arc has the Medic obsessed over trying to make the invisibility potion, and believes to have become invisible himself after drinking a whole becher of [
* [[Jerkass]]: Most of the cast, usually the Sergeant and Musolesi.
* [[The Jinx]]: The infamous and dreaded soldier "Jonah" Franz.
* [[Just a Stupid Accent]]: One of the main characteristic of this comic is that anyone (except the female characters, Galeazzo Musolesi who's Italian and the Japanese soldier) speaks in a mocking German-sounding Italian (usually adding -en at the end of the words).
* [[Kick the Dog]]: The Sergeant is proud of doing this.
* [[Laser
* [[Lean and Mean]]: The Captain, the Medic and all the other officers.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: The Cook. One simple yet effective example is found in his spaghetti, which apparently can move on their own and maul soldiers.
* [[Licensed Game]]: '''Strumtruppen: The Videogame''', which published by iDea for the [[Amiga]].
* [[Lovable Coward]]: The Proud Ally Galeazzo Musolesi of San Giovanni in Persiceto, a parody of fascists, will shit himself, duck for cover, tremble in fear and faint at the minimum danger.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: The Medic believes to have discovered the Invisibility Elixir without going mad. Is actually the other way around.
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Private Tilda and also the Battalion's Bitch. Furthermore Bonvi wasn't too shy about putting around attractive, often naked hotties here and there.
* [[Naked People Are Funny]]: When the Medic believes to have become invisible, he start going around all naked, much to the embarassment of the battalion.
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Galeazzo Musolesi is named after Mussolini and [
* [[No Name Given]]: Many high-ranked officer, the Battalion's Bitch and the Jewish prisoner.
* [[The Oldest Profession]]: The Battalion's Bitch. Her "boyfriend" Otto tries to romanticize it by giving her flowers and chocolates, but the poor sop hasn't much success.
Line 73 ⟶ 74:
* [[Only Sane Man]]: The Captain.
* [[Only Six Faces]]: Done on purpose. All the soldiers looks the same (except for some "veterans" who have traces of beard), the Sergeant and the Cook looks like slightly bigger soldiers and the other officers are pretty much alike, except for the uniforms and the nose shape.
* [[Perverted Drooling]]: It's over exaggerated with the [[Drill Sargent Nasty|Sergeant]] starts foaming with pleasure at the thought of torturing the new recruits.
* [[The Pig Pen]]: The Sergeant can boast about having 6-7 pounds of dirt and filth on his body, forming a sort of natural armor against splinters and projectiles. Another example is how they used sandpaper and ''industrial acids'' just to wash him. And that's for the outer layers.
* [[Reckless Gun Usage]]: In an interesting variation: "Air-Headed" Franz wields his gun with the [[Bayonet Ya|baionet]] mounted, and often ends up [[Eye Scream|stabbing eyes]] and ripping ears by accident.
* [[Right Behind Me]]: There's one strip where the Captain calls the General (who was supposed to assist to the execution) an old moron, and the General is right behind him with an anrgy frown on his face.
* [[Seppuku]]: Musolesi almost drive the Rising Sun Ally to do this. However, after the Captain talks to him, he decides that there's no need to spill ''his own'' blood... [[Hoist
* [[Shot At Dawn]]: There are some strips that have this outcome, plus the hilarious subplot about the Firing Squad.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: Bonvi fought in war, and he did a good job at representing uniforms, machines and weapons.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Galeazzo Musolesi is the straightest example, as a direct parody of fascist soldiers during the [[World War II]].
* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: There are only four main female characters so far: the Battalion's Bitch, Sergeant Olga, Caporal Helga and Private Tilda.
* [[Tanks for Nothing]]: Tanks are often played for laughs as they fall apart, run out of gasoline and fall into pits of various kinds. The few time they're efficient they'll end up running over their own soldiers.
* [[Take That]]: Against the Army and the concept of [[War Is Glorious]] and many other things. See the description above for more details.
{{quote|
* [[Teeth
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: The 27th Armoured Battalion (of Discipline), two rough veterans who can force the Sergeant to crawl around squirming and get away with that.
* [[Toilet Humor]]: Whenever the latrines are involved. There's also a picture of an unfortunate soldier frozen solid as he was crapping.
