Re: Blood and Iron
Karl Wagner is a disgruntled middle-aged instructor at the Bundeswehr Command and Staff College. He finds himself concerned about the direction which the German nation is headed in—just as he is killed by a terrorist attack. Only to awaken and find himself reborn as an infant, Bruno von Zehntner, the youngest son of a noble family renowned for its part in the German war industry a few years after the founding of the German Empire. Bruno, as he is now known, desires to rewrite history and ensure the German Empire emerges victorious in the coming century. And in doing so, finds himself entrenched in a world filled with Blood and Iron!
British Counters to German Panzers
A loud explosion went off as a shell struck a Panzer I… The explosive blast was sufficient to damage its front plate, which was where the armor was thickest.
In fact, the shell surprisingly bore through the rolled homogenous and sloped armor of the Panzer I and caused what would have been a confirmed kill of the entire crew inside had the vehicle in question not been derelict for testing purposes.
The shell had been fired by a 5cm PaK 38, or a 5cm PaK 15, as it was known in this timeline. In fact, the shell was not an ordinary high explosive shell fired by artillery, but rather a dedicated Armour-piercing ballistic capped high explosive tracer shell developed over the course of the last five years deliberately to counter the eventual introduction of Allied Tanks.
