Summary
An Astra Militarum novel.
The Death Korps of Krieg are deployed to a soul-crushing siege in the Octarius War Zone. They’re the right regiment for the job, though victory might come at a price that some might balk to pay.
Listen to it because: Steve Lyons lifts the mask on the enigmatic Death Korps of Krieg, to show us the true horror that lies at the heart of this storied regiment. If you’re looking for a meat-grinder war, you’ve found it.
The story: Krieg is a dead world.
Fifteen hundred years ago, it declared its independence from the Imperium of Man and paid the price. One loyal soul defied its treacherous rulers and laid the world to waste. From these ashes emerged a unique fighting force, forged and tempered in nuclear fire....
Today, the Death Korps of Krieg lay siege to a captured hive city on the outskirts of the system-spanning Octarius War, in a desperate attempt to secure the cordon that stops untold masses of Orks and Tyranids from spilling out into the Imperium at large. The Korpsmen are relentless, ruthless, implacable and unstoppable, even in the face of a war that seems unwinnable. How far will they go to achieve victory, and is history doomed to repeat itself?
Written by Steve Lyons. Narrated by Timothy Watson. Runtime nine hours 34 minutes.

There is only war and sacrifice, only in death is duty done!
Dark but compelling, a great look behind the history and secrets of the Korps. A must read if you like the Death Korps or are just looking for a great grimdark 40k book to listen to!

fantastic story
A fantastic story that kept me gripped from start to finish, with excellent narration. I've read other stories about the death korp of Krieg but this is by far the most gripping.

Only get this if you are a huge Krieg fan
The narration is excellent but the story is just a bit flat and among the characters only Jurten makes a lasting impression. It works as a portrait of the Death Corps and their peculiar flavor of devotion to the Emperor, and it does flesh out their origin story if you've only heard the short version. But as a narrative it never quite engages the listener.

col.Jurten is not a nice guy ( no spoilers)
One timeline fleshes out the background story to the death world and the death korps of Kreig.
This is very much a prophetic story, about the dangers of dogmatic and zealous fanatics and religious fanaticism.
Jurten, an absolute nailed on emperor worshipper, takes it upon himself to stop The break away rebellion that took traction upon his home world. He will do anything to stop this. However, if circumstances where different, would his actions could easily make him heretic?
The Krieg very much draw influence from 1940s waffen SS fanatical devotion and 'style'. This story irons out one of the most popular and most 'hated' Imperial guard units in 40k.
The second part of this story runs in a modern timeline in the 40k universe, from the view point of A Cadian unit who are in close proximity to their Kreig counterparts. They very quickly understand the Krieg are faceless, fanatical, regimented, killers, who will charge a defensive position outnumbered and out gunned. Sometimes for no other reason than to buy time or to hit the enemy for the sake of it. In Kreig life's cheap but mistakes are expensive.
No wonder other guard regiments find this utterly unnerving.
Kreig don't fear death, they welcome it. so Do the Cadians learn something ?
