Afrika Korps: Sad Wings of Destiny: Book Three of Afrika Korps

By J Palliser

This story was my dark destiny. A destiny connected to his success while my lot was to be bathed in defeat.As much as I wanted to believe that I had chosen my own fate in life, I realized that it had been chosen for me, much as he had been.I was on my knees in abject humiliation before him, a proud German officer almost crawling in the dirt. It was impossible to win every battle in every war, but I had never felt the sting of a loss such as this one.I told myself to release these thoughts. There was no reason for me to feel any shame. I had lacked the means, but not the ability to defeat them. They had had no more than I did, yet they succeeded.The man's face showed his satisfaction for what he had accomplished. Yet I saw no traces of gloating or exultation crossing his strong features.I finally broke his gaze and looked away, down into the desert sand. I gave him this acknowledgment that he had won, that he had beaten me, if even only for this one battle.It was now up to my skill and ingenuity to ensure the future encounters would be different, and that I would eventually win the war against him and his men. No matter what she had foretold concerning the two of us, I would still loyally serve Germany. I would seek to defeat him and put an end to him.And like our previous encounter such a scant time ago, he soon departed and I was left with only my thoughts. I estimated less than ten intense minutes has passed from when we opened fire until this moment. Yet in the few seconds we had held each other's gaze, our lives had solidified for the future. I knew we would meet again and I knew it would never be over.No, it would never be over. Not even when the war came to a merciful end years into the future.***During the early days of his assignment to the Afrika campaign, Hauptmann Rolf Krengel's destiny continues to unfold. Leading him down a path shaped by his past, Krengel's future begins to be revealed when Fate brings him into contact with the man who will change his life forever.
