### **WWI**

During the first world war, Lieutenant Germany alongside Otto Hollenfeuer and Novak Betelguese were assigned to the same battalion, the **5th Special Operations Task Force Group.** Lieutenant Germany who had just graduated law school and settled in a firm was unprepared for the task, however his charismatic motivation gave him courage to persist. His influence led to a blast of morale in his battalion, thus gaining him the title of a good leader. The display of patriotism and resilience managed to also give him the nickname of ***Lieutenant Germany.***

However, during the **mustard gas incident,** he would see his men succumb to his other comrade's fatal mistakes which would give him guilt and decrease his esteem. However, he was delighted to see that some of his men survived and were as strong as normal.
