Akatsuki Denkou Senki, also known as Akatsuki Blitzkampf Ausf.Achse, is an alternate reality World War II themed fighting game released for Sega NAOMI arcade hardware in 2008. It was based on a successful dōjin fighter originally released on Windows PC in 2007 which was praised for it's high resolution sprites and old school gameplay.
It is commonly misunderstood that the subtitle is a misspelling of the German phrase "Auf Achse," meaning "on tour/on the road/on the move". However, the term "Ausf." is short for "Ausführung", meaning "option model" or "version". Therefore, "Ausf. Achse" literally means "option model with axle(s)" or "moveable/mobile/non-stationary version". It should be noted that "Achse" also translates to "axis", so a very probable translation is "Akatsuki Flash Fight Axis Edition".
As a WWII themed beat-em-up, it has garnered the unfortunate nickname "Jewpuncher", although no such activities occur in the game.
