World Myths

There is death and then there is the afterlife, a cycle unbroken and unchanged. Yet all rules must have their exception, a median that divides the realms in which all souls flow.

It is here one has all the time they need to complete their life goals, to chase their greatest ambitions, to have the life all are stripped of.

Black Tulip locates the ambiguous truth about Erich Hartmann and so much of the German Wehrmacht in general: that many of these men were neither full-blown Nazis nor impeccable knights.
