I'd assume the manga has not been published in English yet? I have not read the manga, but as it takes place in Warsaw, September 1944 I'd guess it is presumably set during the Warsaw Uprising? Can this be verified by somebody who has read the manga?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 02:33, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- It hasn't been published in English yet, but there are scans (both raw and translated) available on the internet. It actually hasn't been collected into a volume yet in Japan either, it's still coming out in YKO. Anyway, I've read all 6 chapters, and while it technically does take place during the Uprising (it's set in September of 1944; the Uprising was from August of '44 to October of '44), I don't think any references have been made so far.

- That's strange. Why set it up in that timeframe if you are not going to make use of the such an important event? Of course, Hellsing is an alternative universe of sorts, so one can assume the Uprising didn't happen than - because one could not be in real Warsaw in Sept'44 and not feel the effects of the 'rising. I'll be really disappointed if the manga makes no reference to that event.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 05:11, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- Well, they are at a pivotal point in the war. But no mention of the Uprising itself. I agree though, it would be a shame not to mention it. I wouldn't doubt that it's happening though; while Hellsing is alternate universe, it only contradicts the Dracula canon and the nature of Vlad's death in 1476. Other than that everything is the same, and the events of WWII are the same in Hellsing as in real life. There's a train equipped with a Karl mortar headed towards Millennium's building, but it's got a Swastika on it. I think they plan to level the building and escape, covering their tracks.

- Hmmm. What are the 'street conditions'? Is the city reasonably peaceful or not? I think I need to get my hand on the manga :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 21:53, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
- We haven't seen what the streets are like yet. :P The camp isn't in the heart of the city, it's out in the countryside somewhere...but in the general Warsaw area. Do try to track it down, it's excellent. Schrödinger 22:29, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Good news, in chapter 1 (which I'm reading now) an explosion shakes the building and Doc asks if the uprising has been struck down yet. The other doctors also mention rumors about the Red Army reaching the riverbanks on the opposite side of the river, and expresses his concern about the safety of their operation. There is also a reference to Army Group B planning an offensive (most likely what will become known as the Battle of the Bulge). With the old black and white photo of the Major and the Captain in the Ardennes (from the back of vol. 5), it's pretty clear where they go after the events in Warsaw are over.

[edit] About Alucard's name
If anyone is in any kind of doubt, it is Alucard. Not Arucard, Akkado, og anything else. This has been varified, if anyone has any doubt- check the Hellsing (manga) page. I'm writing this because earlier someone changed every mention of Alucard into Arucard so it's not unbased. :) --BiT 18:36, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- Most people know that...but, a minor nitpick, his Japanese name is Ākādo...which is simply a sort of "slurred" transliteration of Alucard (compare with Arukādo). Schrödinger 20:26, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
