Genre: Historical Fiction
Post WW1 Germany was close to giving up on the war and admitting defeat when a brilliant mechanic and chemist, Kuno Sauer, proposed the idea of a wooden army. The generals laughed at him, called him a fool, but allowed him to demonstrate his invention.
Dr Sauer, without hesitation, walked up to the front door and grabbed a large, rectangle-shaped box. Clicking and ticking noises filled the room, as the doctor dragged it to the middle of the bunker. He opened it and reached inside, pressing some buttons and twisting a silver knob, then stepped back to watch everyone's expression.

Inside were lots of wires and gears but most prominently a swastika painted on a sheet of metal, that protected the motor. "Now my darling Arnold here took me about two days to make and all the parts I found in an abandoned trench.
