I tried an experiment with this story, mixing English and German together. The verdict on my experiment is in from my readers. I should stick to English in my stories.
I am posting Chapter 3 with most of the German replaced with the English equivalent. As I get time I will correct Chapters 1 and 2 to match the rest of the story.
I am keeping the military nomenclature, month names and date format in German. Otherwise the German phrases are going.
Thank you all for your comments. I expect to continue posting the chapters on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
