The Long Awaited Return Home

The return home from war was far different from Bruno's expected it to be. In his past life, the atmosphere in Berlin was one of solemn defeat, revolutionary sentiment, and the violence of those who sought to take advantage of the crisis.

This could not be said for this timeline. Germany was victorious in an overwhelming fashion. Losses were minimal and were well below the replacement rate. Germany's economy was bolstered by the war, not broken by it.

Citizens of the Reich could proudly wave their banners and celebrate the return of their valiant heroes in the most lavish of fashions. The future was bright, and the storm clouds lingering far beyond the horizon.
