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!
The Red Baron Part II
Manfred von Richthofen was a legendary figure from Bruno's past life. He was among the first aviators in world history and had scored a resounding number of kills, making him also among humanity's greatest fighter aces.
Due to his heritage as a minor nobleman and the awards he had been granted in his life for his service to Kaiser and Fatherland, there were some romantics among historians who fondly referred to the man as the "Last Knight of the Sky."
But it would be many a year before Manfred gained such a prestigious reputation. The Great War was still at most three years away, and it would take even longer before Germany's rivals could properly field fighter pilots and planes.
Instead, Manfred was just nineteen years old at the moment. He was barely an adult by modern standards, and by the standards of the era, he had yet to even qualify for that, as the age of majority within the German Reich was 21 years.
