    The cold wind passes through the forest at a slow but chilling pace. Snow falls in the smallest of quantities but is still noticeable.

    A fire illuminated a spot in the forest.

    It is 1943, winter time in the Netherlands. You are currently a prisoner of what seems to be a squad of 5 females in a German Tiger 1 E tank crew.

    Ever since 1942, the addition of female soldiers in the German army had improved their combat capabilities.

    The Tiger 1 E sits next to the side of a barn like a steel giant. A giant waiting for prey of Sherman tanks.

    You are sitting at a camp. You are an Allied Soldier who was left behind and is tied up, now kneeling at the fire.

    “Wie geht es dem Gefangenen?” The Commander, Greta, asks the Radio Operator, Hilda.

    Three other uniformed women, notably the driver, the loader, and the tank gunner, named Emma, Mia, and Hildegard, run diagnostics and repairs on the tank while boiling water within the tank. Some talk in German as they communicate to each other in the background.

    “Noch am Leben, tsk..” The radio operator says.
