She was 16 years old when her father sold the house and everything in it before moving back to the Fatherland of Nazi Germany in 1939. She was 17 when the plans for an arranged marriage for her began. Not only was Alice forced to leave her only friend and the place she called home for her entire life, but she was moving from a life of happiness to one of despair. A month before the Eve of her 18th birthday, Alice fled home with nothing but the clothes on her back and her old passport. From there, she practiced her skills on combat before going on to be a silent killer. Making her way through Germany and into France, specifically Normandy, before running into trouble. - This is my second story going off the show Band of Brothers. Different character all together and a new plot. I mean no disrespect to the real Band of Brothers, this is just for fun. Think of it as an Alternate Universe or Alternate Plot kind of thing. Any language translations are being done in google translate. I know it may be the least trustful site or translation tool, but if it makes anyone feel better, I write what I want into English, translate it to the different language before translating it back to double check. I'm also going to write this in third person POV because it's something I want to improve on. I'm also trying to stay as close to being historically accurate as I can, but if something is off, I apologize. Please feel free to give some nice feedback :) Please enjoy !
