Uniform Guide: Germany

This is a listing of outfits worn by Germany in Axis Powers Hetalia. Changes made to them in other adaptations, such as the anime, are noted where applicable.

First Appearance (WWI Uniform)


Germany wore this uniform at the beginning of Hetalia: Chapter 1, when he was searching to fight the heir to the Roman Empire, Italy. He wears a button-down jacket, riding pants tucked into boots, and a wide belt with shoulder straps attached to it (that tuck under the epaulets of his jacket).

The meeting of Germany and Italy was retold in Prologue of the first published volume, though Germany's WWI uniform stayed the same. In both versions, this uniform is quickly abandoned after Italy's capture.

In the only colored webcomic image featuring this uniform, it is shown to be steel blue and with a black collar. In the anime adaptation, the color of the uniform was changed to green.

WWII Uniform
In the lead-up to the second World War, Germany began to dress in a green SS (Waffen division) uniform, and wore an Iron Cross necklace underneath the collar of it. He is shown to wear this uniform in other WWII-era strips.

In the anime adaptation, the Iron Cross was removed and the color of the uniform was changed to teal, presumably to downplay the SS connections. However, when the Axis training sequences were shown in the anime, Germany was shown to be wearing green.
