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!
International Conspiracies
While Bruno was moving his forces within the Iron Brigade, as well as the supporting elements of the Imperial Russian Army into position near the city of Tsaritsyn. International interests began to converge. Not in support of the Red Army, but rather in opposition to the German Reich.
To all who observed what had happened in Saint Petersburg, there were two things that stood out. One, the use of machine guns as employed by the Iron Brigade had universally changed the world's understanding of warfare and how it was fought.
Or at the very least, this was the case for the world's major powers. In addition to this, the use of steel helmets on the battlefield was an irregularity which the Iron Brigade had utilized. Some thought that this was perhaps simply a ceremonial decoration in reference to the word iron, which was in their unit's name.
