Overwatch: 1944 (Paperback)

<p>"Mud squad." That's what they'd call themselves. These unruly men on the frontlines of the German 76th Infantrie Division would have been sent to penal units years ago if there were just more men available to fight the unrelenting Soviets. But to the dismay of their Nazi superiors, their disheveled attitudes managed to strengthen their camaraderie. <br></p><p>The blame for the squad's mentality primarily rests on the shoulders of their most lively member, a seasoned marksman named Rupert Schmidt. Unfortunately, his unorthodox style doesn't mesh well with their newest replacement from the Fatherland, Bruno Lindemann, whose nationalistic concept of what a battle-hardened German soldier looks like couldn't be further from reality. He couldn't have come at a worse time, either - the entire Eastern Front has been falling, so their days in Oradea are surely limited. Will the squad be able to fight their way out? But if the war is already lost, what's the point of fighting, anyway?<br></p><p><em>Overwatch: 1944</em> is an anti-war historical fiction based on the greater Battle of Debrecen in Oradea, then-Czechoslovakia. The setting has been researched in-depth to ensure the story coincides with the actions of the German 76th Infantrie Division during autumn of 1944. Just like these doomed soldiers, <em>Overwatch: 1944</em> is meant for those too deep inside something unethical that forced them to constantly question their morals.<br></p>
