Chris is a male nurse who's perhaps a bit too compassionate for his own good, living and working in Germany in 2015. One day he faces a huge moral decision. The choice he makes has  unintended, dramatic consequences that threaten to be his downfall.
    
    His namesake and great-great-grandmother Christobel was also a nurse, a comforting angel of care to soldiers during the dreadful cataclysmic times of 1915, and Chris finds himself in a dangerous situation that's similar to his ancestor's in some ways.
    
    Their stories are told in parallel (Christobel's through her journal) in this heart-rending but also heart-warming and inspiring novel.All Rights Reserved

After War Is Over by RageAgainstMyMachine

It's 1917. You are a medic in the war, crawling through no man's land to save your fellow soldiers. You are captured during you rendezvous by a German field medic -- a dark haired man who's pointing a Mauser at you and bleeding out. You must save him, you have no choice. You commit treachery -- you fall in love with him, even when you don't speak the same language. - There is a lot of German in the fic, and I do NOT expect you to understand any of it. That's the point, the reader canonically cannot understand German. You aren't expected to translate everything (but you can if you want to, I might have slipped in a few jokes.) Tactically translated German (Aka Maxis translating) is in bolded sentences.

Hope among the ruins (EN) ✅ by ievyte

The action takes place during the Second World War. Elizabeth is a recent medical school graduate from Boston who hopes to find her dream job, find a man she loves, have children and live a peaceful life. But her dreams are shattered the moment she receives an order from the United States government to go to Tunisia and join medical workers from around the world, nursing soldiers. Still, the young woman can't complain too much, because in part her dream job still became a reality, even if it was in unusual and extremely dangerous circumstances for her. But everything changes the moment she meets a gallant soldier in the enemy camp, who tries in every possible way and for unknown reasons to save her life and bring her back to her native home. Betrayal of one's own will cost a soldier very much. Maybe even his own life. How will Elizabeth cope with the idea that she will never see her lover again? Will she endure the feeling of loss? Or maybe she won't care about all this at all and she will live her dream life in peace?

Convalescent by AugustLikeTheMonth

When war erupted across Europe in 1939, sixteen year old Katherine Montague had known what she wanted to do - what she had to do. Now, five years later and a trained nurse in the British army, she finds herself thrust into the thick of that same war. But as the fight for the Western Front rages on, Katherine discovers something amid the rubble of the death and destruction around her. Something that will plunge her into a completely new war - one she'd never intended to fight, but has no intention of losing. The war for William Hughes' heart. Love might be enough to win the battle, but will it be enough to win the war? If not, her own heart just might pay the price.

I, Deutschland by XXsn0wst0rmXX

(ART IS NOT MINE!) After my biological father died, I was left all alone... My sister was taken from me and I was left with the most difficult decision I had ever faced: through all of my tears, I had to choose a Westerner to take me in, and I was immediately thrusted into a new life, a life like nothing I'd ever experienced before. I felt lost and lonely, yet oddly content. My emotions were complicated, too complicated for a relatively young child, yet I didn't have a choice. I had to overcome everything and lead my people back from the clutches of evil. Hallo, I'm Deutschland. This is my story.
