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!
For the first time since Bruno had been promoted to a general position. He had not been invited to the Kaiser's palace to receive his latest promotion. Rather, he was standing within the Headquarters of the German Army's Central Division, saluting the German Kaiser with a stern expression on his face.
The Kaiser returned Bruno's salute. He seemed rather proud as he did so. And why wouldn't he be? Bruno was now only two ranks away from becoming a full fledged Field Marshal. And he was not even thirty yet.
Although, give him a year and he would be. Even so, to become a GeneralOberst at the age of 29, it was an achievement nobody had ever succeeded in obtaining prior to now. At least not in the German Army.
