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!
Well Deserved Awards for Distinction in Combat
For some time now, Bruno had been avoiding visiting the Tsar. But as he continued to prove himself in battle on behalf of the Tsar, the man continued to insist on meeting with him. There was only one reason for this. The Tsar wanted to properly reward Bruno for his efforts.
The war was being fought on multiple fronts and had seen extensive casualties of over half a million on both sides. Bruno was responsible for victories in two major campaigns.
There was the Ingria Campaign, which started with the Siege of Saint Petersburg—a Russian victory only due to Bruno's arrival with the Iron Brigade—and the Volga Campaign, which again was a victory attributed to Bruno and his Iron Division, first with the Siege of Tsaritsyn, then with the extermination of Bolshevik forces throughout the region.
