Emil Kramer, a nineteen-year-old Panzer crewman battles his fears, the French Resistance and the Allied Invasion, while his brother, twenty-nine-year-old Rolf flies Focke-Wulf 190 fighters against the growing Allied air armadas. Together with their comrades, these young Germans fight an increasingly hopeless battle on many fronts, one that doesn't spare their loved ones at home. In brutal industrial warfare, they discover that soldiering and war are drastically different from the propaganda media presentations and the recruiters' promises. War reveals itself as a demonic cocktail of terror, confusion, suffering, tendered by moments of glory and blossoming friendships.Brotherhood of Iron combines lessons in military history, combat leadership, German culture, and human drama, in an action-packed read.
