- "Stay awesome."
EDIT: I seriously can't thank you guys enough for this. This vid has been really special to me (and will always be) so I'm really grateful for its achievement all thanks to you.
Big thanks to ~Shounen-Hime for creating this wonderful nyotalia fanart.
Check it out: shounen-hime.de...
-----------------------
Deep beneath that obnoxious and narcissistic personality, I find Prussia to be such a fascinating and (surprisingly) complex character to portray. And for that, I tried to present a story about him. Because he is, IMO, all too human with a (his)story worth telling to everyone.
Now remember, this is HETALIA! so lighten up and enjoy the show.

![[APH] If I Die Young | Prussia](/img/tr.png)
I always imagined that went Prussia died, Germany was leaning over him and Prussia said "Hey west, stay awesome for me." and then I stopped imagining and started crying.
this made me cry
katie daniels oh, kinda like "stay gold, ponyboy"
*CRIES FOR MILLENIA
Gilbert Beilschmidt You didn’t just go there..
.... why?
katie daniels Prussia is still alive, in our hearts 😭😭😭
9 years have passed, and this is still the best Prussia tribute on the internet.
look up this guy rano his tribute to Prussia is a epic 3 part hand drawn and colored animation of Prussias life. First part is I want may tears back, second part is Goodbye glory and there is a third and final part he could not find a English song for. Its less then a year old for all 3 parts and there just amazing. The second part is the most moving till you get to the end of part 3
yass
@@marshmallowweekly8575Links please
@@marshmallowweekly8575omg I remember watching this but I can't find it now😭
I can't help but think that those last words "Stay awesome" are his way of saying: "Keep the great empire of Prussia in your memory, even if I'm no longer here."
That's why I feel a slight hope at the end, like one day there will be a place that they can call themselves Prussian once again.
*****
Well I don't know for sure, but I did some research on the topic of Prussia becoming a country again. Where I looked, it said that it has been brought up in some meetings but has never formally been discussed.
Now I'm still not sure if it's true or not, feel free to do some research too, but it would be truly awesome if it was.
But there's a micro nation called new prussia where it is i don't now maybe in germany? some people are saying canada.
***** But there really was a town called New Prussia, it's in east Canada. I think it's called something else now but that was its name.
terrania
Yeah, but it would crazy to assume it is anywhere close to living up to the actual Prussia (and I mean the actual nation, not the Hetalia character)
wistful thinking but not even close :/
terrania
True, although I'm hesitant to believe in this micronation. I wish for more evidence than just micronations.wiki XD
And actually about that "New Prussia" town in Canada, there were and there are a lot of towns in North America named after German towns, etc. It's quite common, the German influence is very signficant! So a town named New Prussia isn't something I would consider unusual. It was probably renamed after WWII
I'm still here losers.
oh thank god
Gilbert Beilschmidt We both are
Me too. We WILL rise to power again someday. I'll make sure of it but I can't do it alone. This is for real. I actually want this to happen but I need help. Is anyone willing to help me?
Maria Beilschmidt ZHE AWESOME PRUSSIA VILL RISE!!!!
No, like, actually though. Is anyone willing to help me with this?
What was that breaking sound? Oh. It was just my heart.
+doki doku Dokusei mine too, mine too...
I think every Hetalia character has a deeper story to tell than the anime, manga, and parts of the fandom lead on (Come on now, they are countries with history and EMOTION) But I've always felt that Prussia's was a special case. He's not gone like the ancients, tucked away neeatly into nostalgic bliss. But he no longer carries the power, responsibilities, of a full fledged nation any longer. He was born a warrior, and refuses to go down. Life for all of his friends and family moves forward and he does so only vicariously through others, like Germany. What you have here really is a masterpiece. I don't think there are any written words to tell this story as well as you have, except for the last phrase. 'Stay Awesome.' Very well done indeed.
Instablaster.
They do just look at there countries history and that is part of the characters back story for sure
After I watched Hetalia for the first time, I asked my mother who Prussia was.
She responded
"It used to be an empire that was dissolved soon after WWII."
I asked for more info. She had none.
We need to teach our children about Prussia.
His history must not be forgotten.
I don't see why we wouldn't learn about him. He seems to be at least a mid-to-high-level needed piece in the second World War.
I have German in me so I wonder of I have Prussian. I should ask.
maruthehedgehog in germany you learn a lot about prussia in school like the whole fucking time... it's kind of annoying after a while :/
In America. We learn nothing about it.
It kind of pisses me off
In Britain we learn about Prussia in WW2, luckily
maruthehedgehog In Serbia we learn a whole lot about international History (not the US :D ) and we all know a lot about Prussia too
Yes we ought to especially because Prussia was dissolved because he was blamed for world war 2, dafaq it was a man addicted to many drugs with a traumatized childhood from Germany that started most of the war... 😭😰
Jeez why Prussia why u die *crying* ahdjdjdbeoxpreka Prussia isn't even a bad guy in Hetalia D; he is just perceived as shmutty because of shmutty people's shumtty thoughts...
Here's a sad fun fact; midnight blue was originally called: Prussia blue. However, they changed it because they thought children would not relate to the history...
I've been calling it Prussian blue ever since...
I saw that too. I've never hated Crayola so much in life lol
in germany we still say prussian blue (›´ω`‹ )
+silvergirl145 That I will do too! I didn't know until know and I will call it Prussia Blue now.
+silvergirl145 in professional art, is prussian blue, and is different from midnight blue :3
I recently bought a set of watercolours too... in England (legit Brit here), and I saw Prussian blue as one of the colours too. Pretty amazing
((Dear Lord, I am SO sorry for all the comments! Anyway! I'm going through an obsession with Prussia, and last week I got the book "A History Of Prussia" by H.W. Koch. I thought it was just some history book in the form (the look of it and all) of a normal book. SO when I wanted to know about the 1947 dissolution of Prussia, I skipped to the end yesterday. I'm not even through with the first chapter (shame on me... I wish I had more time to read it...), but I went to the last chapter and read the end of the chapter. I nearly cried. No, it wasn't because I was thinking of the Hetalia Prussia being dissolved, but the end of the book was so.... ugh! I don't know! The author was of Prussian descent, and well, the end was emotional, yet factual. Hard to explain. This AMV is truly amazing in every way! Thank you so much for it!))
Hey don't worry, you're fine.^^ Your comment is pretty decent actually. Well, I agree that Prussian history is fascinating and quite heart-breaking to say the least. I remembered doing a bit of research when making this amv and tbh, my heart broke a little after I learned about the details of the aftermath. But time goes on, they say. And scars, although not forgotten, will heal eventually. It amazes me how much I've learned about Prussia just by reading others' comments here.
And you're welcome. ;)
((The author said something along the lines of there "being emotions for Prussia to this day, and that as time goes on, those emotions will fade with each generation until Prussia is nothing more than a complete part of the past." I don't remember exactly, and the book is literally RIGHT next to me, but I don't want to reread the end until I actually get to it. But he ended the book with a quote from Shakespeare (I'm pretty sure it was Shakespeare...), and that was that, except for the maps and "family trees" and an index. When I read it yesterday, I just kinda sat there, staring up at my computer (at nothing really) just thinking "wow..." and nearly in tears. I wouldn't have read the last chapter so soon if it wasn't for my stupidity and writing of a fanfiction about it... sorry for this being so long... heh))
Oh my god, I read that book last summer! It's really great and interesting. I have a bit left to go, but it's definitely great so far. I recommend you take a look at Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia, 1600-1947 by Christopher Clark as well
((I definitely will!!! Though I'm not finished with Chapter 1 of this book yet! So shameful... I will definitely look into that book, though! Thank you!))
Alfred F. Jones
No problem, anything for a fellow Prussian history enthusiast! This is all coming full circle for me; my interest in Prussia was actually sparked when I watched this very AMV for the first time last year :D
We still got some traces of Prussia in modern Germany :) For example in sports where we are represented by the colours black and white, the Prussian eagle in a lot of national emblems or all the universities that were founded by Prussia / Brandenburg :) I even study at one, lol.
Great video
HAH, have you seen the Bundeswehr? From most disciplined military in Europe to fucking boy scouts.
Borussia basically means Prussia. So Borrusia Dortmund, Borussia Mönchengladbach etc.
Not to forget Schützenfest with Prussia's Glory playing~
This was beautifully intense from start to finish. When he cried over Old Fritz, when Prussia was announced as dissolved, the fall of the Berlin Wall. Just wow, so much emotion, and the music. I just really love this vid >_
such emotion. much wow
+Carru Chan lol
I love the music is so intense and so classic. Beautiful.
I love the music is so intense and so classic. Beautiful.
I love the music is so intense and so classic. Beautiful.
:)))) Hey, I'm still here and vibing with this song in 2021
Prussia will stay alive in our hearts, folks. *sighs*
+Gilbert Beilschmidt YES FOREVAR
Im german and you know.. its for us germans not that emotional. Yes of course its an cool anime but we germans aren't that emotional about stuff like this and historical things
+KimBeereLy
Well, that's very stereotypical.
because your feminized peace of shit who cant even defend your own home land
I'm basically a melting pot of Europe, my origins are from a number of different places, but the day I found out I had Prussian blood in me, I almost cried. Es lebe Preußen!
Prussians unite!
Hayley Fragomeni my great grandmother was Prussian nobility so I’ve Prussian blood as well but now I’m seen as a German potato 😂😂
the feels, oh my god I just wanna hug Gilbert. ;~;
kakarrot son goku same
kakarrot son goku I need the hug...
kakarrot son goku Me too!
Prussia Gilbert Meelon Meelon *hugs both of you* ^-^
Yay! Thank you You are very, very, very Awesome!
That`s Half as awesome as me! Kessesesse! Now vhere is vet?!
ok so what if all those diaries that Prussia writed were meant to teach other countries about themeselves like he registered everything that he saw to better understand how they worked for exemple how the italian bros are one country but are 2 people and how the ancients can appear and how germany was born as a teen unlike everyone
Pin Maria First of all how dare you
Pin Maria that actually might be true
The bits we know ARE about others, not himself. That was one of the ideas I came up with as well. The others are: he has them to spite others and he is afraid of himself/the world forgetting history.
Love how the violin starts playing as a picture of Prussia playing one
*sniffs* Who keeps putting these bowls of onions by me?
The news says that they are targeting people with da feels
The last words made me cry...
"stay awesome."
I have to say, this has became one of my favorite Prussia Amv's, You did a wonderful job there Somaticjester :3
When it got to the part "Stay awesome" Actually got me into the feels o.0, and thats hard to do XD
I'm really proud to have Prussian Roots. It's so sad that you never hear about him in History class and most of my classmates probably don't even really know who Prussia was :(
I have Prussian heritage, too! Quite recent, in fact. My Grandfather. Too bad from here on, our future children will just dilute our blood more and more...
Morrigan☆ My grandfather was born in Prussia and fled to Germany during WW2. Later, he moved to Switzerland. He told me the story many times. Sadly, my cousins aren't interested in History at all and think that our roots are simply german. But my grandpa is glad that at least I show interest in the real story :)
Lyras Otaku Mine was also born in Prussia. He's dead now, so I never really had much time to really ask him about it, but he eventually moved to the US where he met my grandmother who's half Italian. They had my mother, which in return, had me. People say that when I say I'm about a quarter Prussian, they say it's German. =/ I guess those who don't really care about the history just don't really understand how much it really means to those of us who do.
To be something that no longer exists. We are... well, to bluntly put, the last of our kind.
Morrigan☆ The last of our kind... That sounds nice but also very sad. I recently asked my history teacher if we could learn something about Prussia but all of my classmates were against it because they thought Prussia was "irrelevant". Really sad. Interesting enough, some people think that my roots are actually polish because my ancestors lived in Danzig, which today, is part of Poland. But back then, it was of course Prussian. About a week ago I visited my grandparents and we talked about history, then my grandma mentioned my "german" roots and my grandpa and me went like: "PRUSSIAN, not german!" Then we smiled at each other and laughed :)
Lyras Otaku That sounds really sweet! I wish I could have talked to my grandfather a bit more about our roots, but he died when I was just short of 11. About a week and a half just before my birthday, too. *sigh*
At least it's nice to know that we aren't alone out there. It'd be kind of nice if I could find a man who has Prussian blood in him as well so we can keep it alive a bit longer. Haha
If you think about it, Prussia has been through a lot, from being accused of being the spawn of the devil to his own brother leading the path to his demise AND one of his best friends dissolving him. Yet he still smiles.
I know this sounds immature but now that it's been confirmed that Prussia is disappearing . It feels like my heart is breaking, I don't think I could watch Hetalia again without breaking into tears.
Prussia is not dissapearing! He lives in our hearts and I myself am an AWESOME PRUSSIAN with AWESOME PRUSSIAN ANCESTORS and I shall always stay an AWESOME PRUSSIAN. I live on AWESOME PRUSSIAN GROUND and that will never change!
Arya Grey I feel the same.
I am just going to pretend that I never read this so that I can be happy with my life.
Its never been confirmed he's disappearing. He's not going anywhere.
Maple Please But... Prussia aka Preußen officially dissolved since 25 February 1947, he's dissappearing from world map (; - ;)
I AGREE! prussia is surprisingly the most human country i have seen amongst hetalia, somehow it must be because he does turn human anyway in the end (or becomes tiny and goes to live with Germany)
Even after so many years I still come back to this video. Say what you want about Hetalia, but the fans are some of the greatest artists I've ever seen. Such dedication and skills are admirable.
I have only the utmost pride in knowing that I have Prussian blood flowing through my veins. (:
Yeh man you should be proud, that's some badass blood you got runnin' in yer veins.....that guy convinced me to learn German
Hello there fellow Prussian friend :D
:D We are not dead! We will keep our blood alive!
Antonio Fernandez Carriedo even Prussia himself didnt die right, he became a chibi and went to live in west's house right? i read that in a lot of fanfiction
X-ile Elegance He lives in his basement!
Prussia will never be truly gone as long as someone remember him. don't forget
Its been so many years since ive watched this amv and its still beautiful
I don't know why, but ever since I heard about the dissolution I couldn't help but imagine this head cannon in my head:
Prussia is still around but has been feeling sick without telling anyone.
He meets a girl that he genuinely falls for (human girl) after deciding to help her become "awesome" since she didn't like herself
stuff happens and they get in an accident and Prussia, who had been wondering if he could be human and be with her, dies as well/disappears
Only England knows what's been going on since Prussia had come to him to talk about the girl and eventually spilled about everything else to him
He went to England at first because he knew nobody really liked the Brit or (vocally) saw him as a friend. but he also knew that the Brit could keep a secret and wanted to know if he could use magic to make him fully human.
England says no, since someone would have to take his place/sacrifice is needed. but he casts a "spell" that he and the girl would be happy together.
again, only England knows and one day a few years later due to a severe storm/earthquake/whatever natural (or unnatural) disaster several land asses pop up around the British Isles. Twin moons or Wish Isles maybe.
He goes along with his brothers since they will no doubt fight over the land. but they relent when they see England's reaction to them.
A little girl and a boy were found to be personifications of the mirroring opposite seasoned islands.
the little girl, personification of the fall and Spring based island, looked exactly like the girl Prussia fell for. Long, wavy almost twisting messy Brown hair with blond and Auburn highlights with brown eyes with slightly (slightly) thick eyes.
the little boy, personification of the winter and summer island, looked exactly like Prussia. with just slightly longer hair with a bit of fluff to it. of course with Gilberd.
He keeps it a secret since he knows there will be a fight over Prussia when the rest see him and didn't want them to be separated again.
The when they are strong enough it's like "I'm back bitches" since Prussia regained his memories but acts like he doesn't since he feels like pranking everyone and making them suffer a bit. He felt vengeful.
He calls England "Bruder" (brother) and openly shows his love for the girl.
As for the girl, lets go with either a self-insert or an OC named Cecelia or Ember/Isle of Sight. Because they believe in staying natural and in the old stories of myth and legend. Like England still sees (fairies,etc.)
Prussia/Gilberts would be Gilbert/Blessed Isle since I imagine his people would be those still following the faith and religion of the Teutonic Knights he was originally based on.
This is mine, I created and came up with it. If you can make an adequate fanfic: proper grammar, punctuation, word choice, pacing of the story, etc. then please do, but only if you plan on finishing it.
Contact me for info since again it's mine, and I want credit and to beta it.

This is an old video that Years later I return to, and the timing and clear picture of how beautiful and how much love went into creating this video brings back the same tears I ad the first time I saw this video. (also the fact I had the Bigest Freakin Crush on Prussia didn't help)
well done, this video stands the test of time in at least one heart-
a nerd from 2019
I agree so much! I forgot about Hetalia a long time ago but I see why I loved it so much. Awesome art in all forms, from fanart to fanfics lol. Good times.
This. . . This gave me so many feels. I haven't seen a video about Prussia in a long time, but this is the best one I have ever seen. It really kind of broke my heart a little. Especially with the little comic-like bit when the music slowed down, about the Kingdom of Prussia being dissolved. You sure do know how to play feels. I applaud you.
WHO TOLD YOU THIS WAS OK THIS IS NOT OK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
like seriously why
the fanart's beautiful tho maybe that's what just makes it even sadder
Yeah it’s really awesome that he isn’t like crazy he’s been through quite a lot.
I was literally crying, I WANT PRUSSIA TO BE A COUNTRY AGAIN!!!!
what do you think about making country for hetalians named Prussia? xD
I am prussian but I don't want it! A unified Germany is more in my favour! :)
+Katerina I Salazar I thought Prussia was a really long kingdom stretching from Germany to Russia. I guess I don't always have to trust Wiki ._.
Golden Freddy Prussia was like you described it. But don't forget that prussians were germans and saw themself as germans!
Do you know the beautiful actress Marlene Dietrich born in Prussia, she said that she will die been Prussian, I thought she was german.
i like the song tuned down more than the original XD
And this makes me cry at the end cuz after all that the "STAY AWESOME" line is too much--
ONE OF MY FAV PRUSSIA VIDS EVER
Probably always will be
This inspired the start to my fanfic on Quotev "Bittersweet" actually. :3
What's your Quotev URL? Mine is @. musicalkiller xP
@AphAlaska
Nice! Quotev people :D
I'm @doveclaw imma follow ou for fanfic :3
@Larama
I'm thinking of starting a fanfic based on this idea
Feliciano Vargas what is the original song called?
Prussia's history ended when it was was abolished, or 'dissolved' as it was used in this video, in 1947. The Prussian Empire became a part of the many neighboring countries, and despite all this historical bullshit that I looked up a month ago wondering if Prussia is or had been a real country, thinking about what Germany would've thought when his older brother, that raised him, got dissolved, still makes me cry really hard.
Suum cuique!! (The motto of the Prussian Empire, meaning 'To each his own', having been translated from the original Latin text.)
And with that post, I think I am allowed to say that I am sobbing my lungs out.
Prussia was a real state. Ended in a unified Germany!
Prussia wasn't real prussia anymore after the last real king Wilhelm II (which drove Prussia into wwi and defeat) was exiled
The last words was tempting me to cry but I couldn't cause then my parents with see me cry and they would say "Why are you crying over a video??" but this is so sad
Hehehe, who’s still here obsessed w Hetalia?
Always will be its the best anime and fandom as long as you get past the cring like I can
Absolutely AMAZING! Rarely do slideshows deserve a like but yours was indeed exceptional in telling the story (and very emotional)! Thank you for creating this awesome tribute!
everytime I watch this I burst out crying and cant stop. "stay awesome"
always and forever...
the feels... gog the feels...Prussia don't leave! I want a hug... a hug from Prussia, then I shall be happy.
I didn't know the country has been disolved when I first watch Hetalia and it's when I didn't find his name on the world map that I looked over and saw that he was no longer a country. Prussia has not been forgotten if I believed that.
Its rare but there are still people who are prussian by blood. I'm a prussian by ancestry but my blood is mixed now and they dont acknowledge me as prussian due to the fact that the country is no longer around. I always find it funny how other hetalia fans react when i tell them im a true prussian
i am of Prussian blood as well. Nobility as i may add. i wear my heritage with pride and will not be told i am 'German' when in FACT i am not and i am Prussian
I have Prussian blood as well! When I was little, my pawpaw would try to explain to me what Prussia was because his grandparents were from it, but all he could really explain was that it was a Germanic kingdom, but because of hetalia, I've been able to research so much about it! Prussia became my favorite character very quickly. I really hope to meet more people with Prussian blood just as I do. I really hope schools will talk about in history more here in the US. Especially considering the influence it had ON the US. But without hetalia, I never would've been able to research my heritage and see what Prussia left behind. And it is sad to see that Prussia is no longer a nation, so because of this, there are no longer people born with the blood. We truly are "The last or our kind"
I didn't need to cry...
3:03 : /eyes begin to water/ Wait-
"Stay awesome"
/cries a freaking waterfall/ I DIDN'T SIGN FOR THIS-
Man it's been so many years since I've seen this video but it's still by far my favorite one of Prussia. I love it! Please don't ever take it down :)
And now I'm crying! This was so absolutely beautiful!!! I love how you told Prussias story this way!
I knew the song at the beginning notes. You couldn't have picked a more perfect song, and you have every thing in good order. On top of all that it's just beautiful; one of the few things to ever get me emotional. Danke.
I love the messages it gives...
When people die, their presence is lost
But their stories will forever live on in our hearts~
Ahhh...it's been so long sense I've seen this...feels nice to see it again. ;^;
This is like, the first AMV that made me cry.
This is beautiful. ;__; I teared up, ohmygosh. I think it was a brilliant story you told - very well done! This video does Prussia's awesomeness justice~
This not only describes Prussia perfectly, but I feel it fits my emotions perfectly as well (No I'm not fan trying to say "Oooh, I'm totally this character" and some shit) I just love it. And it describes my moods so well and I just love the sound makes me feel like I can do anything
this is an amazingly well done video, it's beautiful and the music is so fitting for Preuβen. i can proudly say that i am of Prussian descent, Prussian Nobility as i may add, and will hold that with HIGH PRIDE. this video not only greatly adds to my love of the character himself, but ALSO to my Prussian heritage as well. i wear my heritage with pride and will not be told i am 'German' when in FACT i am not and i am Prussian. this has so much emotion packed into it, i was greatly moved by the music and the choice of pictures used.
do you think you can explain me why this character, who's supposed to be very "Kriegerisch" (belligerent) (and I know Prussia has been unfairly blamed for WW1) is so popular in Hetalia's fandom?
Eliane R. that is a hard thing to explain, but thanks to Hetalia, a lot of people have learned a lot more about the once great Nation that was dissolved back in 1947. many have learned it's history and have gained respect for the character.
Destiny Losey Yep. You learn alot from that anime ^_^
And your Prussian? Thats so awesome personally i'm part Createn part British
yes i am Prussian ^_^ and yes, a LOT can be learned from that anime. it's one of my favorite series because it teaches history in a light and positive, comedic manner. when i RP/cosplay as Prussia, i hold my head high, knowing i am not only RP'ng/cosplaying my favorite character, i am doing my heritage. it gives me so much confidence :D
I know right. I can drink my tea and use my strangely posh British accent with pride ^_^
I've changed many accounts and many years have gone by, but I've always remembered this video. The first time I watched this at age.. I don't know 13? I was so moved, and I still am, I just wish I could somehow rediscover this gem of a video again
For the first time I cried.... I finally broke... all over this... all over Prussia, I don't know if it's because I miss him or if it's because I can relate to him... I don't know why but it hurts.... this crying thing... it hurts... a lot please someone how do I make it stop! I want it to stop! Please!!
I like that you actually incorperated a story line rather than just randomly throwing photos around. It was great work, beautiful~
I normally dislike amvs without words but this, THIS TwT I must write now, must write fic, must write much fanfic. Thank you for making this TwT
THE TEARS ARE REAL..omg I cried so much...Prussia is my favourite APH character of all time and this was just so sad....
O My Gosh nuu i was already tearing up and then i saw "Prussia's last words" (stay awesome) and i busted out crying D'X
One of the BEST Hetalia AMV's ever. It really does a great job of telling his story. I always get chills at the end. So emotional.
Please tell me right after reading that recently new update with Hetalia World Stars, I'm not the only who just feels like wanting to love and protect this baby forever ;-;
Hun, you're not the only one. The whole fandom is a fucking shipwreck right now.
You are not alone! I know it's just anime but IF Prussia really does fade I feel like the awesome bright spark in Hetalia will go with him.
your not alone TT.TT
I have been loving him and wanting to protect him since before that comic. I've been trying to find ways to get people to believe he is still alive. I have tried to show people he is not a pervert. Now, if the recent comics with Prussia don't wake people up, I don't know what will.
Hang in there, just hang in there. There's nothing we can do but to enjoy it till the last, yes? Everything is up to Himaruya Sensei, and whatever decision he makes we have to accept and respect it :)
Once I read a comment that said something along the lines of "tragedies are sad. But when you give them a human face (like the nations) it makes it all the more heartbreaking." When I think of the atrocities of the world wars and other horrors, I think of that comment. To everyone who has lost a loved one...or even themselves....Stay Awesome.
I'm from Poland. I love history, and thanks to Hetalia I learn a lot about Prussia. In past we fight, but I must say, that Prussia was strong and clever country. Especially under Old Fritz. For example when they stole the coin pattern from the mint. An enemy, but one I respect.
As long as you're wanted and needed by someone, even if it's just one person, you still exist and you won't fade. You'll never be forgotten Prussia.
For all Prussia lovers:
*STAY AWESOME*
I started crying during it, it was such a moving video. I belive you really captured who Prussia really is. The pictures and the music matched so perfectfully together, creating this passion to build inside me. Its one of the best videos I have seen aout Prussia. Good Job.
When you're 5-6 years late
gosh, I just keep coming back to this. not only is it a great song but the story telling you do with the pictures is amazing. I wish I could do something like this.
For me Prussia is stay alive like a city Kaliningrad in Russia. I love fanfics with Prussia-Kaliningrad and I think it's a good way to save his live!)
two videos will always make me cry. Maes Hughes... you know the scene... and THIS!
This is beautiful you have a real gift, i love Prussia and this is so for lack of a better word deep and incredible! I love it!
Every week I watch this video trying not to cry, but when I see the picture of him holding the book, giving it to me I just bawl like a baby, imagining him saying. "Don't forget this!"
Prussia was forcefully dissolved by the allies.
It'll come back. Especially considering a pretty good chunk of populations in the area Prussia used to be proudly call themselves Prussian.
I love the little "Stay Awesome" at the end. It's like a final farewell and good wishes to us viewers from the Awesome Prussia himself ^_^
WTF THIS VIDEO IS NOT ALLOWED IN MY COUNTRY NUUUUUUUUUU ; - ;
And which one would that be?
This is the video that actualy made me like the character Prussia .-. And it never ceases to make me cry
Much of my family still claims our ancestry in Prussia. We say we are Prussian, even though people correct us often saying that we cannot be part of a dead country.
Prussia lives on in it's people... it always will...
Prussia and a violin omfg that is awesome
my uncle once said to me (he was a .. uh.. not so nice person) : tss cant you speak bavarian? you seem to be a prussian swine"
hah! i took it as a compliment ;)
Can't stop watching this. Awesome blend of music and pictures. It truly fits together.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER
Das ist echt gut gemacht! Und die Musik passt irgendwie perfekt zu Preußen XD Youre Awesome!
Now folks, lets be honest. How many of you REALLY knew what Prussia even was before you watched this anime?
I knew about Prussia because the actress Marlene Dietrich and in my history books.
+Nicoletta Ciccone Marlene Dietrich was Prussian and a proud one. She lived in the 30's and 40's she was compared with Greta Gazebo a beautiful woman from Sweden.
I knew, cuz I am from Poland and we talk about Prussia very often at history lessons.
Forefathers from poland, when germany, osterreich,-hungary and russia occupied it so ive known about him for mein whole life.
I knew because we touch up on it very briefly when learning about the revolutionary war here in the US
Prussia was mentioned in my World History book and I fangirled a little because I was so happy that it was there.
W-WHY IS THERE WATER COMING OUT FROM MY EYES?!
I'm not a Prussia fangirl, but my gods!! I suddenly felt the need to show this to the world
I have Prussian in my viens
and if you do too, you should be very proud, we are the last of their kind.
and we have the most toughest blood inside of us.
be proud, BE PROUD, if you have Prussian blood too.
no matter what people say about prussia, always be proud to have it inside of you.
we, we are the last of their kind.
This is, in my opinion, one of the best tributes. You did a wonderful job, and I just love how the pictures tell a story, its just awesome and perfect. Thank you!

German Peoples- Democrat Gut zu hören, dass sich Leute noch als Schlesier sehen! :)
Sobbing here. Thank you for putting his life together into a video! Now please excuse me while I go cry my eyes out...
I know the odds of you seeing this are extremely low, but I just wanted to tell you that in the near decade of my being part of the Hetalia fandom, this is one of the few AMVs that stuck with me. You were one of the reasons I started to see Gil in an entirely different light, gradually leading him to be my favourite character of (thus far) any I've encountered. I had grown up kind of obsessed with Prussia; my ancestors immigrated to the US from the old country back in the mid 1880s, and just- I was super passionate through high school (knew so much that when it came time to talk about Modern European history my teacher kept smirking anytime Pruessen came up) and eventually college. When a friend in college introduced me to APH, and I finally met Gil, I-
I hated him. So much. He was essentially the complete Opposite of what I expected. Anticipated. Hoped for.
I remember I found this video on a whim, was just clicking through random videos while procrastinating on my Lab Report. And then- I'm not sure how, or why, but I was mesmorised from beginning to end with this one.
I found so many fic ideas, branched off into a whole realm of historical Hetalia content, and slowly started to fall deeper and deeper. Read through all the comics I could find, sort of started a blog, sort of still update said blog-
Anyway, rambling aside, I just wanted to let you know that I love this editing so much, and I hope that should you get a chance to read this comment, that you've no idea how grateful I am for you helping me truly learn to understand one of the most complex characters I've ever met. Thank you.
This is the most beautiful Prussia video I've ever seen! It filled me up with so many feelings and i couldn't help but cry a little at the end. Wonderful job!
2021 Prussia fans, where ya at?
The German National Soccer team wears white and black, which is from the Prussian flag.

Bismarck rolles in his grave
*curls in corner and sobs* why did you do this....the feels...Prussia! *sobs some more*
prussia is the most awesome character of hetalia!
he and russia have the most awesome fanartworks!
his devotion and love like in 0:38 , 1:11 , 0:17 , 1:03 , 1:05, 1:11 1:12 , 2:07 , 2:19
his madness, foolhardiness and defiance of death portayed in battle: 0:20 , 0:36 , 1:32 , 1:38 2:45
his passion while performing all kinds of musical instruments with virtuosity: 0:13 , 3:36
makes him stunning and fearsome...
i'd rather not mess with him...
too bad that the actual drawing style in the anime is soooo bad
it would've been a paradise of bishonen...
if anyone knows... where can i get the picture of 0:38 pleeeeaaaassseee
Hetalia is the only show I know of where the fandom actually can draw you more into the show. (mind you stay away from the perv area of fandom) The fans who go and find all this history and the development in the world and use this to further explain the characters just draws you in. It really is a one of a kind experience.
how come I don't feel bad for america and england (not one bit I HAVE NO IDEA WHY *^*) but for prussia and germany??? T.T
I feel so bad for them:( T^T prussia why did u have to go!
andrea williams Because people make the two brothers so huge, and over done, but these two are amazing.

Still one of my top favorite tributes for Preußen on UA-cam to date, even if it’s been 10 years, it’s still phenomenal and beautiful.. 💙
