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!
Reinforcements had arrived halfway through the second month of the war. Bruno had spent the previous two weeks clearing the minefields he had set around the city of Belgrade and the trenches dug outside its perimeter.
How does one efficiently clear a minefield? Well, Bruno already had the answer to this. Introducing the Minenräumwagen, as Bruno called it—stealing the name from his past life—was about the only thing inspired by its previous iteration.
The vehicle was more or less a Panzer chassis based on the E-10 paper tank designs from Bruno's past life, but with a mine flail attached to it. However, there was one other thing this armored vehicle had in common with its predecessor: the fact that it was remotely operated via radio signature.
