The Stasi’s Chief of Operations, Axmann made a name for himself within the organization hunting asylum seekers at East Germany's border, where he captured, imprisoned or executed thousands. 

The Brown Beast's effectiveness, cruelty and sadism in his persecution of dissidents and spies were legendary even by Stasi standards, leading to his prominence within the organization. Axmann's endless pursuit of power and security for himself and the Stasi influenced the significance of the Stasi Armed TSF Force, and the widening of networks of intel and blackmail spanning across Europe, making him hundreds of enemies both outside and inside the Stasi.

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.

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.

This is a prequel to Schwarzesmarken. Opening in the waning days of 1972, it recounts the tale of of the Bernhard siblings, Jürgen and Irisdina, and their friend, Beatrix Brehme as they cope with relationship issues, overbearing parents, and an alien invasion.
