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!
Proper Compensation
Within one of several arms factories that the von Zehntners own, a group of engineers were working together to come up with a functional prototype for one of several designs which Bruno had given them.
His first drafts were crude and needed much work to perfect if they were to ever be adopted into service. But they were detailed, and accurate enough to create a functional prototype off of. Even if the weapons platforms operated via means that were well beyond the current era.
The first of the three small arms that were chosen to be manufactured into a crude prototype was the easiest of the three to manufacture. Which was the Gewehr 43 auto-loading rifle. The weapon would undergo a new destination in this alternate timeline when it was adopted.
