Bruno stood in front of a mirror located within the master bedroom of his grand estate. He was fidgeting with his collar, and the medals beneath it.
In his life he had been awarded just about every honor a soldier and general could receive from the Kaiser himself. And more than once he had actually declined awards, stating that any more than he already possessed would be nothing short of ridiculous.
He was a man in possession of the Grand Cross of the Royal Hungarian Order of St. Stephen with Chain; the 1914 Grand Cross of the Iron Cross with Breast Star, bearing the 1938 Clasp; and the Grand Cross of the Pour le Mérite with Oak Leaves and Swords.
Beneath those sat the Knight's Cross of the Royal House Order of Hohenzollern with Swords, followed by the 1914 Iron Cross First Class with 1938 Clasp, and the 1914 Iron Cross Second Class with 1938 Clasp.
