  • Max Bachman ran a printer's shop in Fulda, West Germany in the years between World War II and World War III. He was a veteran of the Eastern Front of World War II, as was his employee, Gustav Hozzel. On 23 January 1951, the United States dropped several atomic bombs on strategic points in Manchuria. The Soviet Union retaliated on behalf of its ally, China, and ordered six atomic attacks against U.S. allies: Aberdeen and Norwich in the United Kingdom; Nancy and Rouen in France, and; Augsburg and Bremen in West Germany. As February progressed, Soviet forces were moving towards the East-West border. In response, the U.S. announced their plan to create a national emergency militia. Hozzel was initially resentful of the scheme, feeling as if the U.S. had had the opportunity to join Germany against Russia and hadn't, but his boss, Bachman, pointed out that if the Soviets won, it would be Germany that would pay the price, prompting Hozzel to reconsider his position. For his own part, Bachman was prepared to enter the militia. When the invasion came in February, Bachman and Hozzel immediately joined the Americans fighting the Soviets. He wound up in a constant state of retreat as the Americans and their allies pulled back north and west throughout the first months of the fighting. As Bachman spoke English, he often acted as a translator for the Americans. This article is a stub because the work is part of a larger, as-of-yet incomplete series.
