Foreword
The year was 1939 - it was then that the Neuroi appeared. Nobody knows where they came from but their attacks drove people out of their towns and cities. In order to take arms against them, humanity developed a new anti-Neuroi weapon called the "Striker Unit." Using the power of magic to fight against the alien monsters, this new device enhances and amplifies the power of female magic-wielders. To use this device, young witches from all over the world were brought together to form an elite task force unit called the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, commonly known as the "Strike Witches." Now in late 1946 after many years and several great victories over the Neuroi, the 501st is preparing for their last great battle.
