Summary

This is a quintessential German time-travel power-fantasy novel set in World War II. Its selling point is a modern-day gangster protagonist shaking up the course of history with his rule-breaking, unorthodox methods. The combat scenes are direct and the pacing fast, and the setup of clinging to Göring's coattails adds plenty of wry humor. It suits readers who enjoy alternate military history and a satisfying thrill. The weakness is that the historical extrapolation largely serves the power fantasy; the writing and characterization are relatively rough, and it is not very friendly to serious military-history buffs.

Reading tips

  1. Read the first few chapters to get used to the protagonist's gangster style before deciding whether to continue
  2. Treat the historical line as alternate-history power fantasy rather than checking it against real war history point by point
  3. Watch how the protagonist's relationships with Göring and his comrades evolve—this is the core appeal of the character arc
