Commander of the 500th Jaeger Corps stationed at Fort Neuenhagen. From Dresden, Kurt wanted to be a surface pilot, but failed the aptitude test and had to become infantry, viewed as expendable by military command. Despite his high rank being a result of reckless field promotions, everyone at Fort Neuenhagen recognizes the 18 year old as the most capable for command.

In his early days as a tanker, Kurt experienced hell on the battlefields of East Germany, hiding in carcasses, cleaning hundreds of bodies, being abandoned by the 666th, and losing a girl he liked. Despite getting used to this hell and hating the upper command, Kurt continues fighting, scared that he’ll die without fulfilling his promises and experiencing more life has to offer.


The year is 1983. The Cold War is in full effect, and humanity is under attack. Strange aliens, given the name "BETA," have descended to Earth and have been destroying all life. Soldiers have been tasked with piloting large combat suits called Tactical Surface Fighters (TSF) to repel the alien invaders, but the front line is slowly being pushed back towards the surviving cities.
 
Schwarzesmarken follows the story of Theodor Eberbach and the other members of the 666th TSF Squadron Schwarzesmarken (Black Marks), a ruthless unit that values a mission's completion over human life. Stationed in East Germany on the Oder-Neisse line and led by war hero Captain Irisdina Bernhard, the unit specializes in counterassault attacks on laser-class BETA. But the 666th Squadron finds itself with more enemies than just the alien forces when optimistic rookie Katia Waldheim joins the squadron, drawing the attention of East Germany's secret police, the Stasi.

Schwarzesmarken is another spinoff of the Muv-Luv series, set in Cold War Europe in 1983, eighteen years before the events of Muv-Luv Alternative. Like Total Eclipse, Schwarzesmarken is also a light novel.
 
High treason against the state. Theodor, a pilot with the East German military whose family bears a tainted past, is sent to the 666th Company. Known as the Schwarzesmarken, they’re a unit that focuses on destroying the enemy with even at the cost of letting their comrades die. He meets the cold and calculating commander Irisdina and the idealistic Katia, and begins to doubt the way he’s lived his life.

Schwarzesmarken Requiem is a collection of short stories exploring the past and present of the cast of Schwarzesmarken from their point of view. Some stories take place during the events of Schwarzesmarken in 1983, while others happen years before the story takes place. 
 
These volumes were compiled from various Schwarzesmarken related short stories found in TSFIA and Cross Operation, as well as some stories written originally for the novels.
