When Soldat Conrad Schmidt of the German 6th Army is shot by a sniper during the Battle of Stalingrad, he is sent to Equestria.. However, it isn't the Equestria we all know and love.
“Remember your place Mr. Schmidt. You are no better than Twilight’s troops, and fighting her will not earn you redemption.
BULL Schmidt is not SS. He is Wermacht. The difference is between Adrian Shepard and the Black Ops teams in Half-Life. Schmidt has not killed civilians that we know of. Not even indirectly if he were an artilleryman. He is an infantryman. He is a soldier. He fights other soldiers for his country. Said country is run by a lunatic with a stupid mustache, but Schmidt never showed the traits of a fanatic, just of a trapped, tired soldier who wants to go home. Also, fighting troops that are basically Nazi-ponies is the best way to earn redemption, if he needed it, which he doesn't.
How could the unicorns possibly take on the extermination of so many with so few forces?
By being SS. And since they are SS he'll earn a lot of karma points for shooting them in the face.
Ok, I'm good. Discord's 'arguments' were just really annoying, which may have been the point. Schmidt is not a monster, and even if he was, redemption is pretty simple: fight for what you know is right.
7233086 Yeah, a mild obsession with World War Two gives you that kind of information. I guess my frustration is more because I'm of the belief that almost no one is beyond redemption, while Discord here reminds me of early seasons Q, who was all about how humans are bastards.
Wait, Discord is acting like Q. John De Lancie. Did you do that on purpose?
For a moment there you had me thinking that what happened on your previous iteration of the story was going to repeat itself, a soviet soldier also somehow appearing on Equestria (could have been Discord's doing) and getting enticed to side on with Twilight's regime.
A part of me is glad that wasn't the case for some reason. Anyway good chapter as always.
7234338 You should be glad lol. The previous iteration was a train wreck of epic proportions, something I didn't think out at all. At least now I know what I want, and that I shouldn't throw curve balls because I can :D. Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying it so far
You need an editor. I'm finally going to say it, there are too much tpyos. I have time to correct them, and you don't have time to spit out so much chapters soooo.... I think this would work.
Where's Flammenwerfer when you need him?
BULL

7232838 I admire your points. Not many people know the difference between SS and the rest

…You know what would make this story better?

Because 88mm Gun, thick as hell armour, and German engineering!
…Nah I'm kidding, A Tiger would just be OP in this situation…but you know…you should totally do it.
Because it's a F***ing Tiger!
7327264 I got something better...

The P1000. I mean how could the ponies hope to outclass a 36 foot high tank with 280mm guns?
7328088 Yeah, but sticking in a Tiger to help Conrad is actually doable.
7328219 Very true...very true indeed.

...Wait, you have two?
7347911 rofl I'll consider it. Apparently the smallest typos get through, will have to dicipline my editors for that >:|
