Roughly a year and five months had passed since the first Victory Day Celebration had taken place. At the young age of ten, Prince Hans von Kufstein had graduated from High School and despite his mother's many concerns he immediately enrolled in the Military Academy. However, this was not the War Academy in Vienna, which housed the many potential officers of the Army.
Instead, this was the newly established Aerial-Warfare Academy in Kufstein. Five months ago, Hans' father, Kaiser Berengar von Kufstein, had taken part in the first manned flight of a heavier-than air object. It was a monumental achievement for the reich, and what followed afterward was the establishment of the Luftwaffe.
