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!
Unexpected Consequences of Excessive Retaliation
Rumors of what happened at Belgrade spread like wildfire across the Western world. Belgrade was gassed into extinction by an exceptionally large use of chemical weapons, fired via artillery shells onto the city by the besieging German Army.
Was surrender not requested? If so, was this a war crime? Why would a man take such overwhelming action against a city that, while having a large military presence, held a far greater number of civilians?
What could possibly compel a man to act in such a way? It was shortly after this that German intelligence began leaking information to the public about the Black Hand, their ties to the Serbian Government, and the list of crimes they were responsible for, either directly or indirectly.
