Description
Y'all ever watched the Black Panther motion comic(?) on BET?Aside from the 'General' who wore a Navy uniform, and the English accented Boers obsessed with the tea ceremony (Tea Party dig, anyone?), and a slapstick Batrok the Leaper, it was...
....
....
Really shit. Moving on.
I saw the 'Nazi unit sent to steal precious Vibranium from Wakanda' and I thought, 'WTF? They're wearing uniforms more suited for Northern Europe than the tropics'. Surely, surely someone at Marvel must've known that the Germans actually had tropical uniforms in this day of easy access to information via the internet and that Tom Cruise movie? Greece, hello? Waffen-SS troops in desert tan in Italy? Deutsches Afrika Korps in Libya and Tunisia anybody? No? Seriously? What is this, Awouda from 'Ace Ventura 2' "This how they know you"??
Did you know the Soviets actually had tropical uniforms complete with 'Panama' summer boonie hats a looong time before the Afghanistan debacle? Gobi desert in Mongolia anyone?
OK, so the strike team went into Wakanda, closely followed by the most asshole annoying portrayal of Captain America since his recent movies, this was set in 1941, so the MG42 isn't accurate, but I like the 'Jin Roh' pose so I stuck with it (they would've used the MG34, Austrian MG30 or Czech ZB-26 like in the Poland raid). These guys had to be badass to justify the cost of deploying Cap on his first mission abroad, so why not Hitler's Special Forces, the Brandenburg Commandos (still, about six of them against a whole nation? Come on!). The puttees are a throwback to the Imperial German colonial schutztruppen in WW1
Of course, the Abwehr could've deployed Fallschirmjagers, but the thought of parachute, small boat and mountain trained SF unit was irresistible to me. The dude in the background still has his FSJ helmet on, which makes more sense if they were air-dropped like Cap, rather than the standard stahlhelm.
Remember the "Band of Brothers' episode 'Carentan' where they found the corpse of a German Green Devil with the Edelweiss badge and they thought 'wow, he's a badass for having that mountaineering badge'? Same thing here.

The only good thing about that short series was the voice cast. Everything else was terrible. The 2018 Marvel film was far better, despite its flaws. Wish Djimon Honsu could have been cast as Black Panther, but he was probably too old for the studio's tastes.

It was...an interesting experience. Djimon or maybe Michael Jai White. Michael should've been Black Panther in the live action movie, but I guess they needed somebody 10 years younger to carry on in MCU 4th wave and play second fiddle to Brie Larson...ugh

Djimon was the best thing about the animated Black Panther. Yeah, here's hoping that Brie Larson's next Marvel outing will flop. I think the Captain Marvel movie was saved by the supporting cast, who really were the best thing about it.

Even if they were the ones you described, they would still be no match for the Wakandans.

First of all, you do realize the Wakandans have air support as well right? With far faster and more advanced aircraft that are equipped with force fields. As are their cities. And their soldiers also carry personal force fields as well. The Wakandans would simply blast the luffewafe out of the sky and then massacre the German ground forces who have no weapons to counter their sonic blasts.
And if we are going by the comic books, the Wakandans also have giant panther shaped walkers like those from Star Wars that could just walk all over the German ground forces. As well as giant air battleships that can wipe out the Germans with a bombardment.
The Germans only managed to overrun Europe because their enemies were unprepared for war. Once they faced armies on equal terms when the US and Russia joined the war, the Germans were pretty much in retreat for the rest of it. Wakanda is far more advanced than anything the Germans possess.

bro in da movie infinity war they literally had no cas
and the germans overrun the europeans because they were behind in germany for doctrine

Because they were facing an alien force far beyond their own technology, yet they still held their own against something that would overpower any conventional modern army.
I just said the rest of Europe were unprepared for war, yet the Germans still lost. The German military doctrine of the blitzkrieg really only works if the enemy is unprepared to face it. It was a new form of warfare at the time. But the Wakandans are far more advanced than any modern military. Force fields, faster than sound aircraft, sonic cannons. Nothing the Wehrmacht has any answer for.
You didn't address anything about the Wakandans far more advanced technology. How exactly are the Germans going to counter that? We even see in Black Panther that they have devices that can even shut down motorized vehicles. A little hard to do your precious blitzkrieg if your tanks suddenly stop working.

Granted. They'd survived hundreds of attempted invasions

Not to mention are lead by you-know-who. Of course, knowing the Nazis, they'd never accept anyone from Africa would be a match for them.

BLACK PANTHA! BLACK PANTHA! BLACK PANTHA!
Hudlin, shut it!
Yeah, true. Though they did have volunteers from Egypt, Morocco, Sudan etc. in the Brandenburgers too...

I doubt the Nazis thought of those people as equals, just expendable fodder. Hitler probably blew as gaskit when he heard his forces got wiped out in Wakanda.

And he had a nice new carpet installed in the Wolf's Lair, too

Der Fuehrer would lose it so badly he would chew on carpets. Or so they say

No wonder he lost.

No one enters Wakanda without permission not even Captain America...
If anything they would have their heads put on sticks as a warning to other what in store for them when they attempt entry...
If I remember one of the Marvel Cartoon shown Cap ((with his original shield )) loosing to Black Panther and carried back to the border afterward.
Oh we'll I must say this is nice to look at...

Which part of 1941 did you miss exactly?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You mean when the Red skull did and was told the give Hitler a message about never trying again or Wakanda will invade Berlin?
((I just forgot the name of the Trade Paper Back. Plus I remember seeing a Youtube clip were the Original Black Panther also gave him that Cap that beating and carted him back afterwards.))

I haven's seen the Black Panther motion comic... but I'm familiar with the story that you are talking about (from the comics)
They only sent a handful of soldiers because they thought the people of Wakanda were just a handful of tribes in grass skirts with
stone spears and skin shields.
They weren't expecting what was there
But, I agree, that with factual reference material already available... they should have done their research.
It means someone at marvel was just being lazy.
But IMO, Black Panther is completely under/poorly/not-completely-serious-ly used... no one cares anymore.
They should...
Thanks for sharing this, and for dropping some knowledge on us.
Knowledge is power.

could be worse could be Geoff Johns, and it would have been in that case a flashback to the Apartheid.
