Long Way from Home (Aussie & Jannah)

[The Australian]

Wir kämpfen für Deutschland
Der Freiheit zur Ehre

The year is 1944. The war is going very badly for the Reich. Closing in on all fronts are the Allies and the Soviet dogs. However, there is still one U-Boat, left over from the Wolfpacks that once haunted the shipping lanes, still operating. U-871, a Type IXC/40 submarine, meant for running long voyages. However, this sortie isn't a normal one. On her, is an assembled platoon of elite Panzergrenadiers, and she is equipped with a top secret device, meant to travel back in time, to inform the OKW of the failures of their universe. Something, however, goes awry.

U-871 is flung two-hundred years into to the future, into a post-apocalyptic nightmare.

Enter the New World. In 2087, after some forty years of continuous world war, countries launched their nuclear stockpiles at each other, engulfing the world in atomic fire. Some people survived in shelters, hidden deep underground, but most had to brave the atomic fire, and only the strong survive.

However, the crew of U-871 and their Panzergrenadier comrades will find this world is ripe for the taking, and might just want some friends...

Biography:
Born in Leipzig to a Great War artillery officer and his wife, a baker, Konstantin was named after his father, and his father's father, and his father's father's father. He had three other siblings, two sister and a brother. His sisters were both older than he was, and his brother, Lothar, was born in 1936. His family lived in relative peace, and still stayed somewhat afloat during the Great Depression. They were never really a political family, with Hitler have a lukewarm reception with them. Konstantin was put into the Hitler Youth, in which he rather enjoyed, and enlisted in the Wehrmacht in '39.

He arrived a week into Fall Weiss, assigned to the 45th Infantry Division (Later reformed into the 45th Panzergrenader Division-Weltreich) where he fought with Polish forces to the end. Later, he was assigned to the Netherlands, Belgium, and France. He served in the occupation force of France until Unternehmen Barbarossa where his division was reformed and sent towards Moscow. The friends he didn't lose to the Russians, he lost to the cold. Soon, all he had left was Reinhardt Streithorst, whom he had served with since basic training.

After they lost Moscow, and started on the gruelling retreat back, he had lost all hope in a German victory. Men in his platoon were quickly replaced by fresh-faced boys, and he became grim. However, when the elite elements of his company were handpicked for a 'Mission that will save the Reich' he just couldn't refuse.

And so, Konstantin Lindemann signed the book of history, and his name would be eternally sketched there.

[Jannah]

Name: Maria Fedorova

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Weapons (If any): A pair of Makarov pistols and a knife.

Biography: Born underground in a high security bomb shelter outside Moscow, Maria saw little of the outside world until she was much older. Maria's parents both died by the time she was fifteen from radiation poisoning inflicted on them during the war. Having no knowledge of their ailment earlier this devastated her, causing her to cast off from the underground community in search of a new start. She joined up with a group with similar goals and eventually started migrating west in search of new colonies.

Maria eventually became acquainted with what would become like her family for the new few years. They continued migrating and salvaging what they could from the wreckage of each old city. Upon witnessing the destruction for herself she learned that fighting wasn't a solution and only something to do as a last resort. Instead her and her companions became scavengers until she was forcibly abandoned due to disagreements on tactics. Somewhere in what used to be Poland Maria was left to fend for herself.
