Firstly the characters that I created such as John Paul are fiction and not real people.
Another thing I would want to tell you guys is this is a rewrite as in my opinion the previous version lacked passion and a soul so I will be rewriting.
----------------------------------------------
The Narrator :
"Welcome Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to our new latest show. I'm sure your ready to enjoy this new and compelling reincarnation story of a man name John Paul. I sure am."
"Now everyone hush now the show is beginning and we wouldn't want to miss out on the action because people were misbehaving would we."
"Righty. lets get the show on the road." With the snap of a finger the scene slowly started to distort and zoomed in closer and closer on a house being rapidly approached by what seems like The German soldiers.
Shouting and screaming were common occurrence during the war but what makes this special is due to it being Dunkirk and where our main protagonist is fighting.
A French soldier wanting to protect his country now cooped up in a house with less than a few hours left to live as the Wehrmacht rapidly approach on his position. He was to hold this position till the last man and make sure there is enough time for British troops to escape.
------------------
John Paul's POV:
I was staring at the picture of my sweetheart. Tears coming to my eyes and the corpses of my comrades scattered across the house floors. The house was in tatters, bullet holes that went through wood, missing floor boards due to grenades and a large part of the roof was missing due to artillery.
*WOOSH* * BOOM*
I looked out the window and saw the Germans were staying back probably waiting for reinforcement or to allow the artillery to make sure my corpse is no longer on earth.
I grabbed my rifle and slinged it over my shoulder which was the MAS-36. This guy has been with me since 1939 and will still with me until my end. I looked around the floor for the grenade I dropped while seeking cover when they first started their engagement with us which was about 2 hours ago. I finally found under the corpse of a 17 year old private.
The boy thought the war would've been like the stories he heard from his grandparents with cavalry charges and colonizing other nations for fun. Poor bastard was the first to die as he thought it would of been safe to peek his head out the window to see how far the Germans were away.
I grabbed the grenade and prepared to set a booby-trap however that plan was quickly diverted as I heard soldiers running through the corridors in the house. Hearing this I pulled the pin on the grenade, opened the door to the room I was in and threw the grenade out in the corridor before quickly closing the door and covering my ears.
"SCHEISSE. Hans LAUFE JETZT" I heard the German shout before a loud bang was discharged throughout the house causing it to shake. I quickly grabbed my gun and loaded in my ammunition and kept the gun aimed at the door
"Viens ici et je te tue. Vous les bâtards allemands" I Shouted hoping the Germans would back off. However I was wrong as I a click of the door and then suddenly the glass shattering and two bounces before a loud bang went through the house again and then suddenly pure silence.
------------------------------------
John Paul 1890-1939
Died During the Battle Of Dunkirk.
Held 5 German Battalions off the beaches with his constant harassments with bullets and grenades before being killed by a grenade
-------------------------------------
Narrator:
Suddenly after John Paul was killed due to a smart German throwing a grenade through the window. Something grabbed his soul and reversed time however something was different this time. The being was adding something the soul of John Paul. A system to be precise with large lettering saying "WAR THUNDER".
The being chuckled before clicking his fingers. Sending John Paul back in this time with a system that will surely help him.
"The Readers will surely enjoy this. However it'd be a bit boring if he started out with a Panzer III B or with the Panzer.35 so Ill give him the Premium Tiger II with a maxed out crew. However he'll experience a few more breakdowns than usual."
With those words being said the being clicked his finger and disappeared.
----------------------------------
John Paul:
Suddenly, I woke up from pitch darkness and saw what seems like the insides of a tank. I looked around and saw an image of a German woman with a man and then suddenly memories rushed into mind of a man named Peter Muller and him being a tank commander under the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich. Hearing the name made me snarl before suddenly I heard a ding.
*System has been Activated*
["Welcome Host, You sure are lucky as you just practically been revived. If you have any questions ask me but first I must tell you what I am."]
Suddenly a voice made me jolt. I looked around and everything was pitch black.
["The host does not need to be afraid as I am only here to be of assistance to you. Now the first thing I must tell you is what I am. I help you get stronger and in return you kill people to feed me essence to further upgrade the stuff you could get. Think of it like a car, you have a cheap bicycle and you work hard in a job so you could get that sweet car you been wanting since 1923"]
"And what car do you think I wanted in 1923?"
["Simple, It was of course the Tito 665' 'Superba'"]
Hearing this, I was surprised as barely anyone knew the car I wanted due to me wanting to surprise people when I got it. I was also so close to reaching the price to buy it. Me and my darling could of enjoyed driving around the countryside but I had to be blown up by a piece of shit grenade. After living and fighting in 'The Great War' and now the Germans wanting to expand again. I had to die to a fucking grenade.
["Host you are getting off track. Anyways I will tell you where you are currently. You are as of right now in a German Tank. That has a crew controling you and you are one of, if not the most advanced tank for the war period. However your going to get a lot of stuck gear shits and engine overheating but do not worry that will be easily fixable after you do something I won't say."]
"Wait, Wait. Are you saying im a tank fighting for the German army and for the SS at that."
["The short and simple answer to that question is yes."]
"What about the crew. Are they nazi scum or people fighting for their country."
["They are simply people fighting for their country and another boon is there the best of the best. They could probably kill targets 1000 meters away without much of a sweat and as they are practically attached to you. They will be loyal to this tank and this tank alone this means they wont desert or leave the tank once damaged since you can repair yourself however the negative is they think this tank isn't alive so you'll have to secretive but don't worry I thought of that and put a speaker in the tank so you can give them commands through that. However you'll have to act as someone high in the hierarchy."]
"That's good and all but what if they try to do a background check on everyone?"
["That issue has been solve we have change memories of a few member so they give your crew practically higher authority than a commander of 12 divisions. Now if you're wandering if there are other Tiger II's roaming around. There are not as we made it so their would only be one and that is you. This is due to us having the 'factory that made these' go up in flames and with all the blueprints to build these disappear as well as all the workers dying in the fire."]
"So what your saying is that we won't be stopped or questioned?"
["No I am simply stating you crew wont get killed because you have all the evidence to suggest you are high ranking officials. You will however be stopped by some SS and Wehrmacht as they probaly would like to see the tank and wondering where the other tanks have gone."]
"Anyways you said you could make me stronger. Does that mean I can unlock more tanks. If so how?"
[" That is correct my host. To unlock more tanks you will have to take part in battles and that is where my job comes into play. I will tell the host when a battle will occur a week earlier."]
"I see that's good. Well that's all I need to really know as of right now."
