Russian troops in the foreground sound out their dismay over the situation. In a nested "dialog bubble," a row of six pigs sit perched side-by-side along a pole. One has taken a direct hit and has swung underneath the pole. いっぽう土手では Ippou dote dewa On the other hand, at the embankment... 「これじゃ 射的場のブタだァ」 "Kore ja Shatekijou no buta daa" "This is like pigs at a shooting gallery."

Miyazaki, pictured below as a pig, supplies his own analysis of the events occurring at the railroad embankment. 「いちばん悪い 陣地の例です。」 "Ichiban warui jinchi no rei desu." "This is a prime example of a bad position (layout)." ＰＡＫフロントは 地形に かくれてこそ 有効なのだ。 PAK furonto wa chikei ni kakurete koso yuukou nano da. It is effective only when the front (formed by) the PAKs is concealed along the lay of the land. ウケウリ Ukeuri Secondhand knowledge ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 3] Carius looks through the periscope located inside the commander's cupola of his Tiger tank. ＰＡＫの始末は 砲手に まかせて、カリウスは 側面に 注意を 集中させた PAK no shimatsu wa houshu ni makasete, Kariusu wa sokumen ni chuui o shuuchuu saseta Carius left dealing with the PAKs to the artillerymen, and concentrated his attention on his flank. ペリスコープ Perisukoopu The periscope [arrow to Carius's left hand] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 4] All we see are the "whites" of Carius's eyes and part of his snout through the glass of the periscope. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 5] Kerscher's tank sits in the foreground while a vehicle, barely visible, approaches from the direction of the distant, smoke-enshrouded Kinderheim. 良く見ましょう Yoku mimashou Let's look closely [text to right of Panel 5] ケルシャー車 Kerushaa-sha Kerscher's tank ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 6] The approaching vehicle turns out to be a Russian T-34 tank traveling at high speed. SFX: キャラ キャラ キャラ Kyara kyara kyara (sound of the tank approaching) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 7] From within the commander's cupola of his tank, Carius warns Kerscher by radio. 「ケルシャー キンダーハイムから Ｔ―３４が 来るぞ！！」 "Kerushaa Kindaahaimu kara T-34 ga kuru zo!!" "Kerscher, a T-34 is coming from the Kinderheim!!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 8] Carius's Tiger tank (in a broadside view) nearly fills the panel, with Kerscher's tank partially visible in the background. 「了解！ 砲塔８時」 "Ryoukai!

SFX: ウオオオ・・ クウウウ Uooo.. kuuuu (sound of the gun turret moving) カリウス車 Kariusu-sha Carius's tank [text to left of Panel 8] SFX: ガウ Gau (sound of firing a shell) 「距離 二ＯＯ、一ＯＯ いそげ！！」 "Kyori ni-hyaku, hyaku Isoge!!"

SFX: キャラキ Kyaraki (sound of the tank approaching) 「ワーッ 何考えてるんだ コイツ！？」 "Waa Nani kangaeterun da Koitsu!?" "Wow. What is this guy thinking?!" 「ウテェ！！」 "Utee!!" "Shoot!!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 10] We see Carius with eyes wide open in disbelief while Miyazaki, pictured below at his drawing table, confirms the story. 「ぼくらに 気づいていないんだ...！！」 "Bokura ni kizuite inain da...!!" "He doesn't notice us...!!" 「ほんとのハナシだぞ」 "Honto no hanashi da zo" "This is a true story." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 11] The T-34 takes a direct hit broadside and dead center. この距離では 砲弾の信管は 作動しない。実質弾と同じだ。 Kono kyori dewa houdan no shinkan wa sadou shinai. Jisshitsu-dan to onaji da. Under this distance, the fuse of the shell doesn't arm. Same as an actual shell. [?] SFX: スカッ Suka (sound of a shell) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 12] The T-34 lies on its side, half-hidden in a bomb crater.

That guy fell into a bomb crater and couldn't move. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 13] A T-34 is pictured with an illustrated Miyazaki commenting from above while a Russian soldier, in the lower left corner, peers through a piece of green rectangular glass. 妄想 Mousou A fantasy [or "wild idea" or "delusion" ^_^] なぞのＴ―３４ Nazo no T-34 The mysterious T-34 「わたしは こうおもう」 "Watashi wa kou omou" "I think this way." 先行した 一輌で、キンダーハイムに 敵が いないので Senkou shita ichi-ryou de, Kindaahaimu ni teki ga inai node （連隊 本部は たった２５名しかいない）、(　)に 連絡に もどって来る 途中だっ た。 (rentai-honbu wa tatta 25-mei shikainai), ( ) ni renraku ni modottekuru tochuu datta. That was the one which went ahead. Since there was no enemy at the Kinderheim (there were only 25 people at the regimental headquarters), it was on the way to go back to make contact with ( ). ハッチを しめっぱなしのロシア軍のやり方では、ロクに 外の状況が 判らない。 Hatchi o shimeppanashi no Roshia-gun no yari-kata dewa, roku ni soto no joukyuu ga wakaranai. With the Russian way of keeping the hatch closed, they can't see much of the outside situation. 右側の炎上する 村の方ばかり 見ていた（車長） Migi-gawa no enjou suru mura no hou bakari mite ita (shachou) (The tank commander) was looking only at the burning village on the right side.

Besides, the quality of the bulletproof glass was bad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 14] A surprised German tank commander is shot as he sticks his head out from the commander's cupola. SFX: パン Pan (sound of a shot) もっとも よく頭を 出すドイツ兵は よく狙撃も されたのだった...。 Mottomo yoku atama o dasu Doitsu-hei wa yoku sogeki mo saretano datta.... Indeed, the German soldiers, who often stick out their heads, were often shot.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Otto Carius - Manga by Hayao MIYAZAKI Episode 3, Page 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 1] Carius peers intently through an observation slit in the commander's cupola. 「１０時方向Ｔ―３４ ５輌 距離７００ 尻の方から やろう」 "10-ji houkou T-34 5-ryou Kyori 700 Shiri no hou kara yarou" "At the direction of 10 o'clock, 5 T-34s. Distance 700. Let's attack from their rear." おどろいている ヒマは ない Odoroite iru hima wa nai There is no time for surprise [text to right of Panel 1] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 2] A bright muzzle flash from Carius's Tiger indicates his intentions. 「テェ」 "Tee" "Shoot." SFX: パウッ Pau (sound of firing a shell) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 3] Hapless Russian soldiers scramble off of two T-34 tanks as they take direct hits. Two additional T-34s are visible in the background, fleeing the scene. ７００ｍでは はずしっこない。 700m dewa hazu shikkonai. (Carius) won't miss at 700 meters. おまけに、彼等は こちらの位置を つかんでいなかった。 Omakeni, karera wa kochira no ichi o tsukande inakatta. Besides, they (the Russians) didn't know his position. SFX: グワッ ドーン Guwa do-n (sounds of explosions) SFX: ワラワラ Warawara (confusion) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 4] Russian soldiers run in all directions as a T-34 is engulfed in smoke and flames. 歩兵が ひきはじめた。 Hohei ga hiki hajimeta. The Russian infantrymen started withdrawing. 「虎だァ！！」 "Tora daa!!" "Tigers!!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 5] Carius swings the turret hatch cover open and pops his head out for a clearer view of the battlefield. Russian troops and the burning T-34 tanks are barely visible in the distance. 五輌とも 片づけた。が、歩兵に かまうヒマも 弾丸もない。 Go-ryou tomo katazuketa. Ga, hohei ni kamau hima mo dangan mo nai. (The Tigers) finished up all 5 tanks, but there was neither spare time nor (enough) shells to deal with the infantrymen. 退却中の歩兵 Taikyo-chuu no hohei The infantrymen withdrawing [arrow to horizon] 「廃虚に 近づくぞ 穴に 気を つけろ」 "Haikyo ni chikazuku zo Ana ni ki o tsukeru" "Let's get close to the ruins.

Go to the railway crossing." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 6] A panoramic view of the terrain reveals the remains of two farmhouses.

We want reinforcements!!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 8] Carius and Kerscher, viewed leaving the scene, barely escape a huge explosion from a Russian artillery shell. SFX: ドバアアアア Dobaaaaa (sound of explosion) SFX: アアアア Aaaa (sound of incoming shell) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Panel 9] Carius's Tiger is about to become covered with mud falling from the sky, the result of a near miss from their own army's artillery. 「味方の２１０ミリだ！！ やられるぞ」 "Mikata no 210-miri da!!
