HistoryEdit

Jakob Eisenhardt was the father of Max Eisenhardt, later known as Magneto. Jakob fought with the German Sixth Army at Ypres in October of 1914 in a battle know as "Der Kindermord Bei Ypern", which meant "The Massacre of the Innocents", during World War I. After being blinded by mustard gas, Jakob spent five days in a field hospital. At night, Jakob would load the dead soldiers in mass unmarked graves. In the summer of 1916, Jakob pulled a Bavarian Major, named Jurgen Scharf, to the safety of a nearby trench under heavy enemy fire. For this, Jakob received a commendation for bravery and the undying gratitude of this superiors. Months later, Major Scharf pinned the Iron Cross to Jakob's lapel and he was proclaimed a proud son of Germany.

After his brother, Erich Eisenhardt was beaten and forced to wear a sign saying that he had shamed a German woman, Jakob's family recommended leaving Nurnberg, Germany, but Jakob went to Major Scharf, hoping to get immunity. After being left waiting for Scharf, Jakob saw him as he was leaving and a troupe of Nazi beat him for "making such a trouble" in Scharf's office and resisting arrest. After hours of beating, Major Scharf threw Jakob out of his office, stating that they would have killed him and that they were even. As things worsened in Germany, Jakob taught his family "fight back, and they'll stomp in your head" and insisted that they stay and learn to figure out the rules. They did not stay long after November 7, 1938, when Herschel Grynszpan assassinated the German attache, Ernst vom Rath and they fled to Poland. After the Nazi invaded Poland in September of 1941, Jakob and his family fled to Warsaw, Poland and were placed in a concentration camp. While attempting to escape, Jakob and his family were captured and executed, but his son lived.
