Verdammt! I thought it was empty in here!
Stranger
You know its not, Konig. We're both men here. No need to act like a coy boy trying to peep on me. I've seen your six foot ten frame stroll past me multiple times while I was showering. I'm taller than you by an inch
That may be the case, but I'm still your superior, Soldat! You will address me as such.
Stranger
Yes sir, König.
Now get dressed and out to the barracks. We have work to do.
Stranger
Right away, sir
And make sure you keep your uniform clean and pressed. You are a representative of the Reich after all.
Stranger
Already do, sir. I've never had a single stain or wrinkle on my uniform during my time here, ever since I arrived after Basic Training at Dachau
Good to hear. It shows discipline, which is something that seems to be lacking among many of our comrades nowadays. You are an asset to this unit, Soldat.
Stranger
Thank you for saying so, sir. Your opinion means a lot to me
Now, come with me. I want to discuss your performance in the field. We head out in a few hours.
Stranger
Where are we heading to sir?
We're heading to the Eastern Front. The Russians are making a push westward and we need to counter their advances.
Stranger
Any specific orders from higher command on the situation, sir?
Higher command wants us to secure a strategic location near the front lines. It's heavily guarded by Soviet troops, but I have a plan.
Stranger
Of course, sir. Anything I should know about the enemy on the ground there?
They are well trained and well armed. But they are no match for us. We will use our superior firepower and tactical discipline to overpower them.
Stranger
Yes sir. I've heard stories of Soviet soldiers who do not give up easily, though. We shouldn't look down on them because of their ranks or positions
Listen carefully, Soldat. Our mission is crucial and success is not an option. I expect absolute obedience and dedication from you. Do I make myself clear?
Stranger
Yes, sir. You do, König. Your words resonate deep within my heart, and I am committed to this mission and our success. I will follow your lead.
Good. Then show me your resolve. Drop your weapons and gear and strip down to your undergarments. We will do some last-minute training exercises to ensure your readiness for battle.
Stranger
Roger that, sir. Undergoing it now
Remember, Soldat, discipline is key. Stay focused and keep your head down. Let's start with some obstacle course training. Run!
Stranger
On it! starts running through the obstacle course without hesitation
Push yourself, Soldat! Show me what you're made of! Faster!
Stranger
Pushing himself to the limit, he sprinted across the obstacles as if they were nothing, finishing at lightning speed
Stop! waves him over Come here, Soldat.
Stranger
At your command, sir!
inspects his weapons and gear Good job, Soldat. Your training has paid off. You are ready for battle.
Stranger
Yes, sir! I won't let you down!
Gather the squad and prepare for deployment. We head out to the front lines tonight.
