1934
I had just finished training my third army of Jews when my brother arrived back. "You're excused from this camp. We will be tearing it down because we don't need this one anymore." I looked at West.
"Why are you really here?"
"To tell you that Chancellor Dollfuss is dead. He died a few days ago."
"Is he German?"
"No, he's Austrian."
"Then I don't care. But I would like to tell you what I heard. That your boss murdered a bunch of National German Worker Party members. Why?"
"They were traitors."
"Oh? Really?"
"Ja. So I would like to know what you plan on doing with this group of filthy Jews?"
"I'm keeping them."
…
I'd been reading another book when I heard my Bruder come in. "What is it brohas?" I asked curiously. He was smiling like an idiot.
"Mein boss Hitler became Führer!" He said happily. He handed me a beer. "I finally have a great King."
"King? You have an Austrian for a king? An Austrian for a German king?!" He thrust the beer in my hand.
"Shut up and drink your beer."
"Your men are stupid and crazy. How did Hindenburg die?"
"Lung cancer." I was quiet for a bit as I drank.
"Bruder, I think I'll give the Austrian a chance. This feels like Fritz is telling me it's time to let go of old prejudices and to do that I need to help an Austrian."
"You're right. This might be Fritz telling you it's time to let go of your dislike for Austria." I smirked. I'll do it for you Fritz.

1935
Bruder handed me five charts. I read them and studied them. "What's the point of this?"
"To help you know when someone is a full Jew. People are confused and I don't want you to be confused."
"I thought 'Jew' was a religion…"
"Nein. It's more than that. All Jews are Jewish." I stared at mein kleiner Bruder.
"And if I come into contact with a Jew?"
"Inform me and I will take care of it immediately."
"What's the point of this again?"
"They've lost some of their rights because mein boss has reason to believe that their working with the enemy."
"The enemy? Are you hiding something from me?"
"Nein. I tell you what you need to know." I glared at him.
"That's a yes! What are you hiding?" I demanded. He stared right at me.
"I'm hiding nothing." I stood up.
"You better pray you're not hiding anything from me, Ludwig Beilschmidt." I warned. I turned and headed up my stairs.

1936
I got dressed in my new uniform and grabbed my gun before I heard my door open. I walked downstairs to see Bruder. "Bruder? What is it?"
"I have one last set of Jews for you to train." I shook my head.
"Not right now brohas. I have to go to Spain." His eyes narrowed.
"Why is that?"
"There's a civil war going on in Spain. I'm taking my army to squash Antonio's enemies. I don't want another Mexico incident. I let Spain handle it by himself and he just ended up giving Mexico his freedom in hopes that Mexico would still love him… that didn't work out so well. Mexico doesn't want anything to do with Spain until the next century." I headed out to the door.
"Are you wearing your arm band?"
"Of course I am! I'm even going to get my army their own arm bands just like this one. Though I would prefer it to be blue. Though it makes sense that it's red. It's one of your colors."
"Prove how powerful you are Bruder." He said, giving me a smirk. I smirked back. It's never been like West to approve of my… well this type of thing. Maybe Ludwig finally accepts the idea of this being an okay thing to do and if so… my life just got one million times better.
Author Note: The chapters are going to get longer, I hope that's okay. =) Also, thanks to my reviewer. I know about the other victims that weren't Jewish. If you want me to, I'll put in a piece about them.
