Synopsis
Synopsis: After the brutal Ukrainian campaign and the battles that culminated in Kyiv, the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler is no longer the same. Battered but not broken, its armored core regroups in France just as the push toward Moscow grinds to a halt beneath the weight of winter—and of strategic doubt. No one knows exactly where the war is heading… except for a few. As Falk Ritter and his crew receive a new long-barreled Panzer IV, still bearing the scars of the Eastern Front, a new destination looms: Africa. In a sudden redeployment, part of the division is sent to reinforce the Axis campaign in the desert, where the forces of Rommel, Italy… and Spain—under the command of General Yagüe—are advancing toward Cairo, Palestine, and beyond. But under the scorching sun, there is no shelter for the conscience. Among ancient ruins, dust storms, and enemy fire, Falk and his men must adapt to a different war—without snow, without trenches, but with the same shadow of death… and even more questions left unanswered. History marches on. The Reich expands. But war, as always, moves faster.

Chapter 1 - Steel Aces

🔹 SS-Oberscharführer Falk Ritter

Commander of the Panzer IVSilent. Calculating. Tired.

Falk no longer believes in grand words. He is driven by responsibility, not zeal. In Poland, he was precise. In France, relentless. In Gibraltar, a survivor. Now, on the Eastern Front, he leads without promising anything—except a chance to come back alive.He carries every loss like a wound pressed against his chest. His authority comes from action, not volume.Albrecht watches him from afar… and Dietrich still trusts him.But even Falk doesn't know how much more he can carry before he breaks.

"War isn't a mission. It's a debt to the ones who didn't return."

🔹 SS-Rottenführer Konrad Weber

GunnerVeteran. Lethal. Broken inside.

Konrad has seen too much and spoken too little. He's the only one who's been with Falk since the beginning. Wounded in the Sudetenland, he still aches—but never complains. He fires with surgical precision and carries a quiet rage no one dares name.He no longer believes in the Reich. He believes in his crew.He's the first to shoot… and the last to judge.

"I don't kill for the Fatherland. I kill so my brothers don't die."

🔹 SS-Sturmmann Ernst Schäfer

LoaderLoyal. Hot-blooded. Human.

Ernst still holds onto ideals, but he no longer shouts them. He believes in sacrifice, in brotherhood forged in steel, and in duty. He is the muscle of the crew—but also its heart. He yells when no one else dares, laughs when others can't, and cries when the silence becomes too much.

"If I die, let someone remember who we were. Not monsters. Just men."

🔹 SS-Sturmmann Lukas Reiner

DriverPractical. Cynical. The youngest.

Lukas shifts gears faster than he trusts people. He thinks the war is insane, but rarely says it aloud. His sarcasm does the talking. He drives like nothing matters… but brakes like someone who still cares. He's fed up, but he keeps going—because he refuses to let someone die because of his mistake.

"The only homeland I recognize now… is made of 25 tons of steel."

🔹 SS-Unterscharführer Helmut Kraus

Radio Operator and LiaisonPrecise. Quiet. Watchful.

Helmut is their link to the outside world, yet he speaks the least. He hears things before the others. Intercepts orders, enemy movements, command rumors. Inside, doubts grow—but his voice stays steady on the line. His loyalty is intact. His faith, not so much. And when the collapse comes… he'll be the first to notice.

"I don't give opinions. I listen. And that's enough to know when we're fucked."
