Iron Sky - The book based on the movie

Just before the end of World War II, the Nazis managed to reach the moon aboard huge flying disks, the so-called Reichsflugscheiben, and settled on the dark side of the moon. When they are discovered by an American moon landing in 2018, the Nazis decide that the time has come to reach out for world domination once more. The destiny of human kind rests on the shoulders of Renate Richter, a teacher who is deeply committed to Nazi ideology. However, after she arrives on Earth, Renate soon realizes that her entire life has been blinded by a lie. How is she supposed to stop her power hungry fiancé Klaus Adler and his gigantic space ship, the Götterdämmerung?



Ilsa von Braunfels was born somewhere in Paraguay in 1954. She is the daughter of absolutely, totally, and utterly voluntarily emigrated Germans. At the age of nineteen, she returned to her parents Swabian home, settling in Stuttgart where she has since been studying German philology, for 78 semesters and counting. Asked by a journalist about the duration of her studies, the author answered that it was simply impossible to understand the literary achievements of the German people in less than a lifetime.

She is sharing her life with her husband Klaus, their son Arndt, and their German sheep dog, Eva. In her spare time, Ilsa likes visiting German folk music concerts and participating in goose step hiking, a discipline in which she has been German champion twice already. Ilsa likes traveling and has visited Antarctica several times.
