Beskrivelse
Conducting mechanized cavalry scouting missions on the West German border during the Cold War was no small feat for Staff Sergeant Sean Kegler and the crew of his M60A3 tank nicknamed Hulk. His storied 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment sat proudly affixed at the tip of NATOs spear as it planned for the challenging Return of Forces to Germany exercise to demonstrate further the Wests resolve to protect Europe. But Sean had more than the coming exercise on his mind during that miserable cold winter of 1985. First, there was Anna von Stauffenberg, his vivacious German fianc, followed closely by the ever-present ruminations of the grandfather he had never known, prematurely taken in the prime of his life during the bitter Battle of the Bulge fighting in January 1945. As a boy, Sean would have given anything to have been able to grow up with more than mere second-hand stories of his Grandpa Paul. More so, he longed to hear his grandfather reminisce about his glorious conquests across Europe with the 2nd Mechanized Cavalry Group as it sparred with Hitlers vaunted Wehrmacht. Unknown to Sean and his young crew, a bizarre occurrence would lead to a surreal intersection of events that would ultimately alter his grandfathers future as well as that of his crew.
