I recently finished the _Strike Witches_ anime (Season 1, 2, _Operation
Victory Arrow_ OVAs and Movie) and am planning to continue watching up to
_Brave Witches_. I want to preserve the continuity of the series as I am
watching it.

In the first episode, Miyafuji Yoshika is seen in the company of Sakamoto Mio
as seen in the newspaper clipping below:

However, it seems that Miyafuji is still not that famous. I assume then that
_the events of Brave Witches start in the middle of Strike Witches Season 1_.

Is my assumption correct? Where does _Brave Witches_ take place in the whole
timeline?

At what point in the Strike Witches timeline does Brave Witches take place?


Yes, you are correct. To be specific, BW's episode 1 takes place around SW's
episode 6, considering the time lag of news traveling at that period. The
creator Fumikane gave that tidbit of information through his
[tweet](https://twitter.com/humikane/status/785527062555598848) (Japanese)

Regarding [Fumikane's
tweet](https://twitter.com/humikane/status/785527062555598848) on [Jimmy's
answer](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/37466/2516), to be more exact, he
says the picture was taken around episode 6, not that the episode of _Brave
Witches_ takes place around episode 6.

Due to mention of the liberation of Galia in _Brave Witches_ , the series
takes place after SW1 and after the manga _Strike Witches: The Sky That
Connects Us_.

It's worth noting Hikari is not seen among the 502nd at the start of the SW
Movie, so we'll have to see what that ultimately means.

It's rather possible that it only happened during the end of S1, as BW was set
during October and in episode 7, it was revealed that it was already December
during that period.

Considering that Yoshika's and Mio's trip to Britannia took only 2 months
(taking the southern route of Yokosuka-Macau-Malacca-India-Egypt-Cape-Town-Pas
de Calais-Dover), it's possible that BW happened during August as the news of
Mio's arrival just reached them and after the approval of Hikari being sent to
Orrusia, she has to train more in their school and she was taken to Orussia
the same time that the Shokaku was on a voyage to Novo-Khmolgory. There was a
2-month break in between EP 1 and EP 2 as EP 2 started with the news of
Gallia's Liberation.
