Echoes of the Fatherland
Kristian Bauer was raised on his grandfather's stories of honor and war, and tales of the Waffen-SS. His grandfather taught him skills his abusive father disapproved of, skills that could keep a young man alive.
Then a freak storm sends him hurtling back to 1941, WW2 Germany.
Fluent in German, Kristian quickly adapts. He finds friendship, love, the man who should have been his father... and enlistment.
Now a member of Das Reich, one of the most feared divisions of the SS, he must survive brutality, betrayal by the one person he trusted completely, and his own life unraveling...all with the knowledge of how the war ends...and what happens to members of the SS.
The only light in Kristian's life is Lorelei, the woman who loves him and waits for his return. The one person who sees him for who he was, and not what the Reich demanded he become. The woman carrying his bloodline.
Despite everything, Kristian believes his foreknowledge will save him. He thinks he can outsmart his enemies. But one small mistake and a sadistic Allied captain will determine Kristian's ultimate fate.
