HomeLAN caught up with Radon Labs' Bernd Beyreuther for a quick Q&A regarding their upcoming World War II Action title, Schwarzenberg. Here's a taste:

HomeLAN - How did the idea behind Schwarzenberg come about?
Bernd Beyreuther - The original story behind Schwarzenberg is not fiction - but a real historical event. The core team and founders of RADON LABS originally came from that little German town: Schwarzenberg, deep in the mountains, close to the border of Czech. Since Schwarzenberg has been located in the former GDR - where we grew up - we did not know much about the War and the time 1945. But there were a lot of rumours around and we heard stories from our grandfathers about a mysterious "Free Republic of Schwarzenberg". After the wall came down - suddenly it was possible to get books and information. In that time the idea of a "Schwarzenberg" - game came up... but it took another 12 years, until we felt prepared to realize our idea.
