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!
Bruno's life had become slightly different from his normal days ever since becoming an adult, marrying his wife, and starting his own family. For the first time in a very long time, he was forced to return to his parents' home. Not out of any form of economic crisis which saw him evicted.
Nor a natural disaster that saw his family's home destroyed. No, Bruno was simply waiting for his new estate to be built, and had gone out of his way to provoke some powerful forces which now wanted him dead, and had already tried on one occasion to kill him.
Because of this provocation, he had decided to move into his parents' estate, which had its own security, security which had been vastly increased and improved since Bruno's arrival. His father, being a former military officer, and currently one of the highest-ranking politicians in the Reich, was naturally aware of why his son was temporarily moving back in with him. Even if he didn't tell the boy's mother about it.
