"What is your name, soldier?"
"Albert, Albert from Ravensburg, your imperial majesty."
Kaiser Franz II to a common officer, 1802


“The Frank’s continuous aggression toward The Reich are a testament of their savageness, we will crush them to the point that their first instinct towards us are submission.”
Albrecht von Ravensburg, Reichskanzler, 1915.2.15

Prologue:
Did you hear that? The laughter of your daughter, playing with her beloved daddy.

You didn’t, the sound of artillery shells had long filled your ears, the scream of wounded are the only music undulate in this living hell.

Did you smell that? The fragrance of roast chicken, your wife cost her entire week of salary to prepare that just for you.

You didn’t, the pungent of gunpowder and blood had long dulled your nose, the stench of infected wound are driving your sense crazy.

Did you see that? The flag of The Great Reich, flag of your fatherland, the black-yellow-black flag that dominate the world?

You didn’t, death had filled your eyes, your comrades’ despairing face had burned into your mind.

Did you remember that? The Reichskanzler’s promise, everyone would return to home before Easter?

You didn’t, the reaper’s claw had fallen from the sky, the chilling death paled your vision, winter came.

The angels are calling, they are calling you home.

You won’t return to home.

Disclaimer: since the PoD was back in 1777 (someone borned), I think I should post it here.
