August 21, 2012, the picturesque Alps.

Mr. Friedrich-von-Hoffmann, wearing the Knight's Iron Cross, was standing on the platform and looking into the distance. This day had a special significance to him. His grandfather, Hoffmann, was once a lieutenant colonel officer in the Third Reich Command, unfortunately died in a car accident on August 21, 1942. The place where he served was the former site of the Eagle Nest, the Imperial Base Camp.

The Knight Iron Cross he wore on his chest was also a relic left by his grandfather. Although the Hoffman family had several celebrities during the Holy Roman Empire, in the 20th century, except for the old Hoffman serving as a lieutenant colonel in the Third Reich National Defense Forces, there was no other history to show off. This Knight Iron Cross was the only pride worthy of people. Even in the most difficult time after the war, my father kept it, rather than exchanged it for money like many families.

Every August 21, my father would wipe the medal he had collected for a long time and put it on, and took his family to the former site of the Eagle Nest to pay tribute. After his father passed away, Hoffman brought his whole family. Unfortunately, before leaving this time, his son suddenly suffered from pneumonia, so his wife had to keep his hometown in Hamburg to take care of him.

Because of the influence of Hoffmann, Hoffman joined the German Wehrmacht after graduating from his PhD and was committed to studying World War II history and military strategy. He was over 10 years old and has achieved great results in this field and enjoyed a high reputation in the military and World War II history. At the same time, he also served as a historical consultant for many World War II games and war films. In the famous "Hearts-of-Iron" series, he has always been the chief member of the expert group.

After the war, the Eagle Nest has been transformed into Germany's No. 1 Mountain Resort. Except for the demolition of all the military equipment, other facilities and decorations are no different from 70 years ago. Every year, people from all over the world come to visit. The sun sets, Hoffman, who is concerned about his son's illness, decided to end his tribute and return to Hamburg overnight.

The elevator is still the one that was set up 70 years ago. It is a big guy that can accommodate 53 people at the same time. Although it has been weathered, it can still be used normally thanks to the good quality made in Germany and the careful maintenance of the Engineering Agency. There are not many people in the elevator. Standing next to Hoffman, he is also a young man wearing an Iron Cross. However, he can tell at a glance that the imitation made in the 21st century. Seeing the other party staring at the real guy on his chest, Hoffman smiled and didn't care. The elevator was descending at a constant speed, and in a few dozen seconds, he could reach the ground. But suddenly, Hoffman felt that the elevator was descending rapidly. Before he could react, the elevator turned black.

"Ah..." With a loud noise in the scream of despair, Hoffman felt that he was shocked and then lost his consciousness...

The next day, major newspapers in Germany introduced the accident at the Eagle Nest site with front page headlines. A total of 7 people died and 1 person disappeared. The local police station has promised to find the whereabouts of the missing person as soon as possible, and to see people alive and bodies alive.

I don't know how long it took, but Hoffman, who had lost consciousness, seemed to feel a light. He tried his best to open his eyes, but his eyelids were as heavy as lead. In a daze, a man in a wild gray Wehrmacht uniform walked towards him.

"Child..." with a kind voice, a kind face, and a bit like a father, but Hoffman knew it was definitely not--the father had never served in the military service, let alone in the military uniform of the Third Reich.

However, this is a bit like a grandfather.

Have you reached heaven?

"Child, you are a lucky person. God bless you. If you didn't have this Iron Cross, you would have entered heaven, but you are the most unfortunate, because what you are about to face is such a difficult and difficult empire..."

Tough?

difficulty?

empire?

Hoffman's mind was filled with countless question marks. What does this mean?
