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!

It was no exaggeration to say that Heidi's humanitarian efforts had a monumental payoff for the German Reich, its wounded veterans, and their families. Less deaths meant fewer orphans and widows. And those that were created were well taken care of by the financial support that Heidi had put in place for them via her nationwide charity.
The result of these selfless acts were widespread, and well known, in part because of the influence the von Zehntner family had over the press, but also because good deeds done for their sake alone were a rarity in this world.
Altruism was a concept that existed in theory only. It was an idea of what humanity could be, but in reality would never be. Any time any human ever did something that could be perceived as selfless there was always some ulterior motive.
