Unfortunately the chances of this being released in Germany are very low.
I hope for a UK edition (even if the Katyusha scene is dropped for copyright reasons)

It's an allegory about the powerlessness of women in Japanese society. Maybe.

It seems to be quite complex as far as values dissonance goes.
From what I read, in-universe men are not allowed to drive tanks, it's a women-only sport* and has acquired the same status as ikebana, i.e. something quintessential to proper Japanese femininity. But not every traditionalist is happy about that.

Personally I think the intention is to create a maximum contrast: typical anime schoolgirls and 'heavy metal'. Checking tvtropes, the series also flows over with in-jokes, allusions, shout-outs etc. (and put huge efforts into getting the machines historically correct).

*if men were allowed it would lead to the use of tanks in war, something totally abhorrent in-universe.
