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!
Not long after Bruno returned home, stripped out of his uniform, took a bath, and emerged fully clothed in far more comfortable attire to share a meal with his family, he received a knock on his door.
Considering he was just about to eat his wife's amazing home cooking; Bruno was actually quite pissed off and opened the door with a scowl on his face. Only to be surprised when he saw his friend Heinrich standing in the doorway with a young girl, no older than thirteen, standing behind him rather anxiously.
Bruno looked at the man for one second and looked down at the girl, only to look back at the man. He was about to say something when Heinrich pleaded with Bruno to let him into his house.
"I know it isn't exactly courteous of me to show up so late in the evening unannounced, but Bruno, I desperately need your help here. Can you please invite me in so we can talk about it?"
