Product Information

The Sondonesians are the fictional Southeast Asian people who appear in Flight 714 to Sydney. The name sounds similar to " Indonesians" and may also refer to the Indonesian Sunda Islands. Cool Ship: While the Sirius is a standard design, Calculus' shark submarine definitely qualifies as a neat vehicle useful for Tintin to scout for the sunken Unicorn. Kûrvi-Tasch's Bordurian government closely resembles the Nazi regime. The usage of the country's national insignia (naturally resembling the marshal's moustache) on badges and armbands is similar to the swastika. The greeting "Amaïh Kûrvi-Tasch" (meaning "Hail Kûrvi-Tasch") is similar to " Heil Hitler!"

Tharkey was based on Ang Tharkay, a Nepalese mountain climber and explorer who acted as sherpa and later sirdar for many Himalayan expeditions. He was "beyond question the outstanding sherpa of his era" and he introduced Tenzing Norgay to the world of mountaineering.Hergé arrived at the character's name by combining the surnames of Italy's National Fascist leader Benito Mussolini and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Müsstler's group, the Iron Guard, is named after a Romanian fascist group. [25] Bordurian officers wear uniforms based on those of the German SS.
