Biography
Early Life
Herzog was born the third child of Isabella Baldwin and Heinrich Herzog, at their family estate in Sainte Marie, Lower Saxonie, Drambenburg. Isabella was the daughter of wealthy spice merchants, the Baldwin family. The Baldwin family began trading spices in the early 15th century, and built one of the largest trading empires on Iearth. Herzog's father, Heinrich, was an entrepeneur who made his fortune in the arms industry before and during the World War. The Herzog family corporation, Herzog MFG, GmbH, built ships, guns, and aircraft for the Wehrmacht, including two carriers used during the World War, and one of the current supercariers in use by the Kriegsmarine, the same carrier that Herzog would later be stationed on.
Herzog's upbringing was a mix of harsh treatment from his father and deep care given to him by his mother and nurse. As a child, Herzog would spend summers playing catch and stick ball with the house staff and his older brother, Heinrich. During the fall months, Heinrich and Herzog would often go hunting with their father and uncle. They would hunt birds, deer, and aligators in the bayous surrounding Sainte Marie. The fall which Herzog turned seven, during a hunting trip, Heinrich II died mysteriously in a hunting accident, shot by his father's rifle. While the investigation afterwards determined no foul play, Herzog suspected his father had shot his brother. The younger Heinrich was unwilling to take over the family business as their father wanted him to, and they fought about it often. Heinrich the elder was involved in organized crime, shipping alcohol and drugs into the country during the alcohol prohibition (1932-1988), and had many police officers on his payrole.
Several years later, Walde was sent to boarding school in the alps, where he excelled. He played baseball and hockey on the school's teams. On weekends he and his friends would take the train to cities nearby and go to swing speakeasies, where they would dance and drink. Herzog graduated secondary school, and joined the Kriegsmarine to avoid being drafted into the army.
Kriegsmarine and Sainte Marie Marineschule
After graduating secondary school, Herzog joined the navy, where, due to his high marks, he became an officer candidate. He applied to the naval academy in June 1961, and was accepted. At the academy, he was fast tracked to the flight school. He graduated in June of 1965, and was stationed on NHMS Steyer.
