Three more years passed in the blink of an eye. And Bruno had an exceptional time at the Prussian War College. Though its nature was highly competitive, with each of the students seeking to become one of the five or so men who would eventually graduate and fill the vacant roles in the General Staff. Bruno's peers quickly came to respect his knowledge and insight into military matters.
Whether it was strategy, tactics, or logistics. Bruno excelled in every regard. And his thesis papers on the future of warfare had unknowingly changed the German High Commands' ideas on how war would eventually be fought in the European Theater should the day come for a conflict to arise among the Great Powers of the World.
In the end, Bruno succeeded in his goal, becoming not only one of the five officers to graduate from the Prussian War College. But also becoming the most successful in his class.
