24 year old Erika Müller has worked at her family bakery in Freiburg for as long as she can remember. As war breaks out, she is thrust into a perilous world unlike anything she has ever known.
25 year old Wilhelm Bauer is sent away to the front to fight for the Fatherland while he is plagued by nightmares of his past back in Berlin.
The story follows the young couple as they navigate their path in a collapsing world which will question everything they have ever known, with dark secrets, sacrifice and betrayal at every turn.
"Under the same sky they fell in love.
In the shadow of war they were tested.
Under the quiet stars they must decide what remains."

𝐌𝐞, 𝐀𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐟 (fictional romance - based on real history)
/!\ This story is a work of fiction exploring the psychology of a young man who would later become one of history's most notorious figures. He is used here purely as a narrative archetype - a boy marked by trauma, neglect, and isolation - to examine human vulnerability and emotional connection. This story does not glorify or excuse his actions. The Holocaust and Jewish history are not the focus of this narrative. _______ Long before the world knew him as one of history's darkest figures, Adolf is simply a young man scarred by violence, poverty, and rejection. Sophia is a girl from 2025 - sensitive, emotionally mature. Lost in quiet melancholy, she prays under the moonlight... and is unexpectedly pulled into another time. With parts of her memory missing, she doesn't know she just crossed into Hitler's world and who he truly is. Living in his neighborhood, Sophia's little brother becomes friend with Adolf. Sophia therefore will step into the guarded space of a boy - who hides behind his coldness, an unexpected vulnerability. She will later, be part of his life. This is a fictional glimpse into the troubled intimity of Adolf.Complete
Daniel Pov Prisoner Of Night And Fog
I HAVE NO RIGHTFUL CLAIMS OF THE PRISONER OF NIGHT AND FOG, ALL CREDIT GOES TO ANNE BLANKMAN Daniel's perspective of Prisoner of night and fog Warning: MENTION OF ABUSE, ANIMAL ABUSE/DEATH, ANTISEMITISM, NAZIS I would like to mention that some chapters might be short since Daniel isn't in any of the chapters, so I have to make do with what we have, and I tried to extend it. This is just a retelling, so I have rewritten the book to suit Daniels perspective. I've added things in (Like some conversations, or actions) that weren't written, but only when there's a time skip, and in away it hopefully alines with what is written. I've also had to write things in, so we have some understanding of what happened to Gretchen, like when they went to the doctors or when Gretchen was out of town, I've just added lines so you can know what happened with her (Although Gretchen does explain what happens, it's just not written, so it's just 'Gretchen explained what had happened') If you read my other books about the series, you'd know who these people are, you have a better understanding of the fanfictions.Complete

The Deserter
Germany, April 1945. The Red Army has reached Berlin, hellbent on burying the Third Reich once and for all. 13-year-old Werner Otto Hoelscher, a young, blindly patriotic member of HJ-Bann 37, is perhaps a bit too eager to taste front-line combat for the first time, and to uphold his reputation in his troop, and to honour the memory of his late stepbrother--but this patriotism and zeal is put to the ultimate test after he is sent by his commanding officer on a suicide mission. As the battle takes an increasingly bloody turn, divisions among his closest friends deepen, and Werner must soon make a choice between the lives of his most cherished friends and loyalty to the ideological figureheads that had once nurtured and indoctrinated him, who now demands all to shed their last drops of blood in the final chapter of the world's deadliest and most destructive conflict. This is my first major project, and my biggest so far; I spent the last five years working on this. I'm anxious to bring this to Wattpad on its trial run. I hope you appreciate it!
