"I SWEAR BY GOD THIS SACRED OATH: THAT I SHALL RENDER UNCONDITIONAL OBEDIENCE TO ADOLF HITLER, FUHRER OF THE GERMAN REICH AND PEOPLE, SUPREME COMMANDER OF ARMED FORCES, AND THAT I SHALL AT ALL TIMES BE READY AS A BRAVE SOLDIER, TO GIVE MY LIFE FOR THIS OATH"

----------------------------------------
That was the oath that every soldier of the German Reich had to take when being commissioned as an official soldier. Yes, I also recited it when I was formally commissioned as a Wehrmacht officer with the rank of Captain or Hauptmann.
Initially, I was born into a modest family in a village in Germany in 1917. I was fortunate to have memories of my previous life and I regret nothing from it. I was born as a woman named Erika von Einzerben.
I am uncertain whether to feel fortunate or not, as I was born in the past, precisely during World War I and before World War II. I also knew what would happen to this country. I wanted to go abroad, but unfortunately, I came from a very poor family, making it impossible to travel overseas.
In the future, women will generally serve in medical roles and the rear lines. However, it would certainly be very dangerous and terrifying towards the end of the war, so I must use my memories from my previous life to start a career in the military.
It could be said that in my previous life, I had a deep understanding of history and the major events that would occur. I also feel that my physical capabilities are above average for women, possibly equivalent to or exceeding those of a man. Perhaps this is a gift from reincarnation? I am unsure about that.
I began my military career at the age of 15 due to my impressive talents in their eyes. I entered military school in 1929, when Germany was still in the Weimar Republic, and the restrictions on women joining the military were not as strict. Fortunately, I graduated in 1934, achieving the highest scores.
Because of this, I received an exemption from the German Reich and was able to continue to officer school in 1934. I graduated in early 1939 with the rank of Captain or Hauptmann. I was tasked with leading a company and performed the role very well, earning great respect from my subordinates.
My current reason and goal is simply to live safely in the future, no matter how.

----------------------------------------
August 30, 1939, 19:00. I am currently preparing my troops for a major upcoming assault. At present, I am standing in a very large field, where tanks and military vehicles are parked in such numbers that they are difficult to count.
The weather is quite cold, so I am wearing a military coat and gloves. It can be said that I am the only female soldier and officer in the Wehrmacht. Shortly, I saw a man approaching me.
The man immediately straightened his arm forward while stamping his right foot.
“Herr Hauptmann! Report: The first platoon of Company 2 has been instructed!”
“Good, have them rest.”
“Certainly, ma'am!”
He is the leader of the first platoon, a man with the rank of Oberleutnant or First Lieutenant named Fred. He is quite competent; I have trained him rigorously, and he is also very disciplined.
Previously, I had given instructions to all the soldiers under my command about the upcoming plans. This open field is extremely busy, with many soldiers from various units moving about, so much so that I sometimes find it difficult to recognize my subordinates.
Before long, a car stopped behind me, and of course, I immediately turned to face the vehicle. Four people emerged from the car, and a man then got out and greeted me. I looked at the man's rank and immediately saluted.
“Good evening,”
“Herr Oberst! I am Hauptmann Erika von Einzerben, pleased to meet you,”
“Hahaha, I already know about you, pleased to meet you too,”
The man and I shook hands. The man is Oberst Hermann Hohn, who appeared very friendly and is my superior. He is the commander of the 96th Infantry Regiment, and my company is also part of the 84th Infantry Regiment.
I would like to explain the following:
1 squad = 8-10 people
1 platoon = 3-4 squads
1 company = 3-4 platoons
1 battalion = 3-4 companies
1 regiment = 3 battalions
“It is also a pleasure to meet you, Herr Oberst. What brings you here?”
“I happened to see you from afar and was quite curious about you since we haven’t met in person before.”
Then the Oberst patted my shoulder.
“I didn’t expect you to be so resilient, even though you are a woman.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Herr Oberst!”
“It’s no problem. I have high expectations of you as the top graduate. Don’t disappoint me!”
“Understood!”
After this brief conversation, the Oberst eventually left me. I continued to wait while checking the readiness of my troops several times. For now, they are resting as the attack will commence in a few hours.
In the upcoming invasion of Poland, I am part of Army Group North under the command of General Wilhelm von Leeb.
I am also assigned to the 2nd Corps under General der Infanterie Adolf Strauss.
The 32th Infantry Division is under Generalleutnant Franz Friedrich Böhme.
The 96th Regiment is commanded by Oberst Hermann Hohn.
And I am part of the second battalion.
The order is as follows:
North Army Group
Corps II
32th Infantry Division
96th Infantry Regiment
2nd Infantry Battalion
2nd Infantry Company (Erika von Einzerben)
That is a brief overview of my unit.
Several hours have passed, and it is now September 1 at 03:00. I had previously finished a meeting with the major and several other company commanders to discuss the war strategy. I continue to wait, repeatedly checking my military watch, feeling quite tense as I have not yet witnessed a battle firsthand.
