A quick bump, I wasn't able to make a post, tomorrow might not work out either. At the latest a post will be up at Wednesday.
I have work today but I may be able to do starting post regardless.
I'd ask everyone to put their characters on the character page but I only seem to be able the edit my last post here, not my character. So it would be annoying for people to copy everything.
This new update of the guild is a bit odd.
@Sturmgeschutz. No, don't worry. I like your character as is, we can use a couple people that believe in the nazi ideolgy. But make your character on you like, you have to portray him not us. :)
@Sturmgeschutz. Oh, yes. I was aware of what you ment. But what I ment was that the Eastern Front was much different then the Western Front, the fighting in the east was brutal. So I was just wondering how long you were there. (To see how your character might break down.)
Also, sorry for late responses. I've been trying to finish up my character but i've rarely been able to find time where the guild isn't down and unacessable.

@Sturmgeschutz. It will be interesting to see how your character will develop, consider it approved.
Edit: You seemed to have served on a lot of fronts, i'm a little unsure on when you actually got to the Eastern Front. I do get the idea that it was quite recent though.

@Sturmgeschutz, I would prefer it if you were just a regular member of the platoon. Your history can be that of the artillery wing though, but perhaps you received an injury that made you unfit for your tank duties. I figured that you could have been relocated and assigned to our platoon as a radio operator.
Name: Wilhelm Schröder
Age: 25
Appearance:
Personality: Wilhelm firmly believes he is bound by honour to fight as a soldier for his home country. Subsequently he is determined to do what he considers his duty as a Wehrmacht officer commanding an infantry platoon. As the war raged on the hope for a quick victory evaporated and so did his naive idealism. Despite that, he continously tries to protect the civilian population, believing that as non combatants they fall under the laws of the Geneva convention. Even though the Russians didn't sign it, he believes that the civilian population shouldn't have to suffer under the mistakes of their Bolshevik regime.
Having joined the Wehrmacht to fight for his country rather then for the believe that the Jews and Russians are sub-humans, in need of extermination, causes him difficulties in obeying certain orders from superiors. As the war progressed however, he learned to tune out certain emotions, and even allowed the execution of prisoners in accordance with the Commissar Order. And approved the use of captured partisans to be used for the clearing of a minefield to speed up the advance of his platoon. He justifies those decisions by reminding himself that both the partisans and the commissars were actively trying to kill him and the soldiers around him.
The years of war have changed him, causing him to do things that he normally wouldn't do. He hasn't changed completely though, not allowing the execution of normal prisoners of war for example, no matter the circumstances. He continously tries to keep the soldiers from his platoon from being part in firing squads, and to prefend them from mistreating civilians, often reminding them of their honour as a soldier.
Rank: Oberleutnant.
Background: Wilhelm grew up during the unstable interwar years in the Weimar Republic. His family was fortunate enough to have work, so even though things were harsh, his family never suffered from hunger. His father was a soldier in the Reichswehr, and before that he had served on the western front in World War, from it's very start in 1914, to its end in early November 1918. Because of his service his father was a respected figure, the Reichswehr could only have a standing force of a hunderd thousand soldiers, so only the best of the best were accepted. His mother was also closely related with the war effort, having spend her time during the war as a nurse, nursing wounded soldiers back to health, including his own father. That is how they met, and after the war they decided to stay together and raise a family.
Wilhelm experienced a normal childhood, atleast back then it was considered a normal childhood. The economy wasn't so good and people were clearly worried about the future of Germany, but at the time he was to young to understand what was going on. His family didn't have it as bad as some of the others so he counted himself lucky, he preformed well at school and was even fortunate enough to be able to afford joining one of the many youth organisations. He recalls his time there as fun and enjoyable, having learned many useful skills. As he grew older and entered his early teens, school got more difficult and time consuming so he left the organisation to focus on his academics. Eventually all youth organisations were banned and replaced with the Hitler Youth, which he never joined, primarely because of the time it would take up.
Eventually, as he grew into a young adult, his father encouraged him to go to military school, which he did. Upholding the tradition of his family to serve in the military, his father was still in the military at the time, having been accepted into the new Wehrmacht formed by the Nazi government. Military school and the influence of his father prepared him for honourable warfare, molding him into a capable commander that showed admiration and respect for his enemies. Firmly believing that prisoners of war should be treated properly, civilians should be spared and protected, both sides of the conflict should have the right to remove their wounded from the field and medical personnel, no matter their origin should not be harmed.
He finished military school in time to join the military, receive additional training and to be assigned an unit right before the invasion of Poland. His experienced in Poland were debatable, many of the soldiers in his unit treated the Polish soldiers and the Polish civilians as inferior and treated them harshly, he disliked such behaviour and tried to stay away from the soldiers that had commited such actions, expecting them to face military court for their behaviour. The overall military operation was a success though, he learned a lot and remembers the Poles he fought as worthy opponents. Fortunately for him he was re-located shortly after the victory to prepare for the invasion of France, being spared from seeing the horrible things that would develop in Poland, and from discovering the things that had already happened.
At the start of the invasion of France he had received a promotion and was now in charge of a small unit of soldiers. Invading France had been a personal issue as well, not out of hatred but out of pride, there had been many border clashes with France and his father had always spoken that the war had ended unfairly for them. The war with France was the honourable style of warfare he had been prepared for, nobody was treated as inferior and he never witnissed any mistreatment against the civilian population. He recalls the French fighting bravely but ultimately losing to superior strategy. After the war had ended he stayed behind as the occupation force and even spend some time learning the language, eventually getting caught up in a romance with a local French girl. He stayed in France for a few months, eventually getting called back to Germany to train and pepare for a military operation against a people he had only a year ago considerd their allies, the Russians.
Wilhelm was part of the second wave of troops entering the Soviet Union, their panzer divisions had been advancing and advancing infront of him, he only had to follow in their tracks and eliminate any remnants of resistance left in their wake. Unfortunately this would change very soon and he would become part of a brutal conflict spanning over several years in which he changed drastically, much like the people around him.
Equipment: Luger P08 with two spare magazines, Nagant M1895 revolver with five rounds left in the cylinder, PPSh-41 with three spare drum magazines. Binoculars, NR-40 combat knife, two Model 43 Stielhandgranate, pack of cigarettes, canteen, thick winter coat, Russian made boots.
Other information: Wilhelm speaks French fluently and has also taken an interest in the Russian language, a keen investigator may notice that his vocabulary in Russian seems to be focused on romantic and normal conversation aspects. Hinting at a possible relationship with a Russian woman or girl, whether this was ever the truth and whether he may or may not be involved with anyone as of now remains a mystery.
