Bruno and Svetozar returned to the German encampment that had been made in the mountains for the sake of housing and supplying the 20,000 or so German Soldiers who Bruno had brought with him to the Austrian alps.

He was here firstly to show off the failures of the Austro-Hungarian Army, and to strengthen the relationship between the German Reich and their southern neighbors.
