Gustav Pfeil was a wachtmeister in the German military in the 2040s, serving with the Forty-First Panzergrenadiers. He participated in the German-led offensive into Russia in 2041 to fight the People's Liberation Army of China. Within a two years, that offensive had been halted, and Pfeil found himself in a long retreat back west into Ukraine.[1]
Under rocket fire, Pfeil and Gefreiter Jürgen Sack were able to successfully cross the Trubezh and make their way to Kiev, surviving a shell landing on the barge evacuating them.[2] They made contact with German military police occupying a farm house. After they explained themselves to the satisfaction of the head MP, he directed them to a Kampfgruppe. They were intercepted by a pair of Norwegian troops. A Norwegian named Olaf led them to a field kitchen further down the road.[3] The two Germans ate with Norwegians, Danes, and Swedes. When the position came under attack, Pfeil received an injury to the thigh. Sack began initial treatment. A Danish medic arrived, and Sack and the Norwegian agreed to act as stretcher carriers.[4] They successfully carried Pfeil to a medical tent.[5]
