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!
Upon stepping foot into Vienna, Bruno was capable of seeing the land and its natural beauty. The Austrian people flooded the streets bustling and hustling about their peaceful daily lives. The ancient architecture, many of which were centuries older than the United States itself, stood proudly in the background.
It was a wondrous sight to behold, as if Bruno had stepped foot into a fairy tale. He, of course, was snapped back to attention by the guide provided to him and his men. The Bavarian dialect which was spoken in Austria was different enough from the German which Bruno knew in both of his lives that he had to pay an extra emphasis on what was being said to him.
