Walking Forward: Pre-reading

Pre-reading: Some historical facts…

The Movie Conqueror of Shamballa is supposed to take place in Munich in 1923. Some people have criticized the fact that the Nazis are also included to the movie plot. However the facts taking place in there are real facts. According to history books, Hitler didn’t take the position of dictator with his first attempt. In fact there was an attempt that failed. In November 1923 (8-9th November) Hitler along with 3000 armed men tried to attack to a Beer Hall in Munich. However they failed. Police stopped them and Hitler was hurt because someone that was shot fell on him and because of that his shoulder got out of its place. He managed to escape to a friend’s house but he soon got arrested and was led to trial. He was supposed to be executed however in the end it was decided that he had to stay in prison for six years. However that didn’t happen either. Hitler spent eight months in prison and during that time he wrote his well-known book “Mein Kampf” (“My Struggle”).
When he got out of prison, and after the great financial crisis in America he managed to win the elections. After that he started his actions against democracy. However the attack in that Beer Hall was written in history as “Beer Hall Putsch”

That is all about the historical facts. Back to my story now… My fanfic is supposed to take place after the movie. Edward and Alphonse live in Munich peacefully and they are still continuing their studies. Edward is now twenty years old and Alphonse is fifteen (remember that his body returned younger than his real age therefore he is now much younger than his brother than he used to be). Edward is working in order for them to live while Alphonse is studying hard. However one day something comes up to ruin their peace. The news that Adolph Hitler is again free turns their lives upside down, since things in Germany are already worsening and people are now struggling to survive with their small salaries. Edward and Alphonse will see that things can get much worse. What makes the situation more complicated is Edward’s meeting with a young Jewish girl that will turn his world upside down and will confuse him more than anything. Danger will be constantly above their heads and he won’t know how to protect his new friends, his brother or himself…

Yes I know that in history, Hitler won the elections in 1933 however I think that ten years is a great distance and I didn’t want Edward be in his early thirties when that happened! Therefore please excuse me for this “intentional error” and enjoy my new story!
More coming soon…
