The Temple of El Alamein is a compilation of World War II short stories from the perspective of the German military personnel. As the saying goes, the winner writes history, and these stories are the untold, unwritten part of the history of WWII. Taking place between 1940 and 1945, when the war was at its most violent peak, each story takes place in a different part of the world where Germans were fighting. One story takes place in Egypt where soldiers find an ancient ruin that prove the existence of dinosaurs that helped build the Great Pyramids. Another story tells how one German fighter jet was able to take down a B-47 Stratojet 40,000 ft. in the air, far above what a fighter jet could achieve at the time. 1. **Umi no Shishi** (Seelöwe; 海の獅子) 2. **El Alamein no Shinden** (Temple of El Alamein; エル・アラメインの神殿) 3. **Arawashi no Yousai** (Where Eagles Dare; 荒鷲と要塞) 4. **Ardennes no Mori** (Ardennes Forest; アルデンヌの森) 5. **Kokujoku Manga** (National Shame Manga; 国辱漫画) 6. **Kokubujoku Manga 2: G.H.Q.** (National Shame Manga 2: G.H.Q.; 国辱漫画２ Ｇ.Ｈ.Ｑ.)

In the future, in a rush much like the American gold rush, many people emigrated to our solar system's asteroid belt to mine the asteroids. A society developed out in the belt, and the citizens, who were generally looked down upon by Earth citizens, came to be known as "Belters". Eventually, this community sought independence from the earth, ushering in a war. The Belters could not stand against the Earth military, and they were defeated, falling back under the harsh control of the earth. Twenty years later, an old man called Bou discovered a still-living baby in a tank within the wreckage of a ship from the war. He named the boy Cross, after the Belter's greatest hero, and raised him with the hope that he would grow to become a messiah for his people. At the age of ten, Cross is captured by Earth soldiers and forced to leave his guardian's care. What connection does this young boy have to the legendary hero Cross? Will he be able to pass through the trials that lie before him, and fulfill the expectations he does not even know that his people have of him?
