OK, one of his assistants hired the photographer without knowing he was black.

This seems less likely.
Especially since we know from his appearance as Guderian's aide/ADC/batman that he is just as... "special" as OTL.

Pictured above is Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood the main character of the critically-acclaimed Webenma[1] political thriller House of Cards, based off the book of the same name
The plot of the novel revolves around that Underwood, a Massachusetts senator as well as majority whip for the Democratic Party, in his quest for power after being turned down for Secretary of State by the well-meaning but ineffectual Democratic President, Henry Walker. Eventually succeeding after the President decides not seek re-election due to a series of Underwood manufactured political and financial scandals."Dirty tricks" by Underwood's allies during election, as well as party boss support, make him President by the end of the novel. The book had two sequels, Hail to the Chief and The Final Cut.
The book was written by Leo Enos (1939 -2008), who's father and grandfather served in both Great Wars, in the late 1960's. The primary inspiration for the novel being the sentiment that Enos felt amongst his fellow countrymen that "it wouldn't happen again". That sentiment being that the United States would never allow a dictator like Featherson to come to power again on the North American continent.
The show differs from the novel in that Underwood goes from a northern based political boss to a southerner of Confederate heritage, making the parallels to Featherson more clearer. Underwood is also changed a bit better public speaker rather than soley just a backroom political operator to accommodate the update from the late 60's/early 70's to the modern age. The show also takes inspiration from the multi-volumed biography series, The Years of Jake Featherson by Robert Caro.
The show has garnered some controversy by Neo-Confederate and Neo-Freedomite groups, who accuse the show of continuing the stereotype that all those descended of Confederates are Featherson's in the waiting.

Josip Broz Tito was the first post Second Great War Chancellor of Austria-Hungary from 1952-1980 and was the first Croatian/Slovenian elected to office. During both wars, he lead the Austro-Hungarian Army against the Tsarists in the eastern front, often serving with honor and becoming known for following "No Man Left Behind".
During his time in office, Josip often pushed heavily for the equal rights of subjects from the Yugoslavian province not unlike Anne Frank's efforts for rights for Jews in Europe. By 1972, his efforts had paid off with Croatians, Slovenians, Serbians, Bosnians, Kosovans, and Montenegrin subjects of the Empire becoming as equal as any Austrian or Hungarian in the country. Tito also pushed for social and economic reforms similar to America's socialist policies and pushed heavily for the military to be on par with Germany. Despite allegations of extra marital affairs during his Chancellorship (leading to his famous "I never had any sexual encounters with her" address during an appearance on a late night Austro-Hungarian talk show in 1976), his remained married to his wife Jovanka until his death in 1980. He left behind his wife along with four children, the oldest Aleksandar, went on to become the next Chancellor from 1981 to 1991.
Josip is fondly remembered by Yugoslavian nationals as the man who had represented them in a time where the world has rapidly change and made sure that the Yugoslavian province would not be left behind.
William "Willie" Blades, pictured at the Rememberance institute where he signed copies of his memoirs, "Papa Jeff-My childhood with evil."
Blades, grew up as the stepson of Jefferson Pinkard, the notorious commandant of Camp Freedom, one of the Freedom Party Population reduction camps. Unlike his mother and siblings, who clung to the myth of Pinkard's innocence, he fully accepted, both his biological father and stepfather's roles in the population reductions.
The book "Papa Jeff-My childhood with evil" is an unflinching look at growing up with Pinkard and a discussion of his biological father, Leroy "Chick" Blades who's suicide by asphyxiation during the initial population reductions, in Louisiana, is said to have been the catalyst of the use of carbon monoxide in the population reductions.
Blades, who is estranged from his family as a result of his work, gives speeches and meets with school children and youth groups regarding the Freedom Party in addition to working as a researcher with Cassius Madison in the hunt for Freedom Party war criminals.

Seems Ironic, but rather poetic at the same time.
Since there is a John Wayne in Tl-191...
Pictured above is noted historian and activist, Clint Eastwood [1], at a Q&A seminar at the Blackford Institution [2] in Dakota.
Eastwood was born in Virginia in 1930, just a few short years before the ascension of Jake Featherston to the Confederate Presidency, the son of Josey and Sarah Eastwood [3]
Eastwood is one of the most prominent Confederate historians living, having written many of the most popular and cited books on the C.S.A. the Freedom Party, and Jake Featherson. He is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans group, an organization of only those who descended from those served in the Confederate Armed Forces and is not affiliated with the similarly named, Sons of Freedom (a neo-Freedomite organization).
He garnered a bit of controversy in 2012 when it was revealed he had served in his local Freedom Youth [4], a young boy's activities group and Freedom Party propaganda network to ensure "young patriotic and pure Confederate men". Eastwood has said that although he had spent a few years with the organization, he flatly rejected all of it's principles.
He works with the Remembrance Center as a researcher/archivist for capturing remaining Confederate war criminals.
Such works by Eastwood include:
-The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: The Freedom Party and It's Relations with the Races of the Confederate States
-Unforgiven: The Legacy of Featherston on the South
-The Gauntlet: A History of the Confederate Barrel Program
-The Enforcers: A History of the Freedom Party Stalwarts and Guardsman
-Hang em' High: Racial Violence in the Post-Great War Confederacy
-Dirty Harry and the Freedomite Nationalization of the Police.
-High Plains Drifters: Confederate Raiding Activities in the the West
-Kelly's Heroes: Major Kelly's Platoon and the Strangest Battle of the Second Great War
-Escape from Freedom to Freedom: Tales of Those Who Escaped Featherson's Butchers
-Sudden Impact: How I Killed the Greatest War Criminal of the Century [5] [co-authored auto-biography/history book on Cassius Madison's assassination of Jake Featherson]

[1] = *This* close to renaming him "Westwood" or "Southwood"
[2] = Equivalent of the Hoover Institute
[3] = You get a cookie if you figure out what movies I'm referencing
[4] = I know there existed a Hitler Youth equivalent in the C.S.A but I don't know the exact name. Feel free to correct me.
[5] = Sue me I used the names.

If I had a hat I would be tipping it, bravo!
Thanks. Had some fun with that one.
Sorry for the double post. Couldn't resist.
The famous comedic trio The Three Stooges in the famous anti-Featherson and Freedom Party short; Over Open Stooges.
Came out the same year as Charlie Chaplain's The Great Dictator. Featured the three as thin expies of Featherston and his allies at the time. With Moe as Feahterson, Curly as Winston Churchill, and Larry as Emperor Maximillian.
Being Jewish this was an important one for the trio as much of Featherston's rants and tirades were darkly similar to those of ones against Jews being used in Europe and the trio knew the dangers of what such beliefs could cause.
Reportedly they were placed on the watch list of the Confederate Army Intelligence after Featherston saw it but no records indicate as such.

Screenshot from the 2004 film Downfall (Der Untergang), directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel. The film portrays the last days of the Freedomite Confederacy. It became really popular when a WeTuber posted a video of Featherston's rant scene subtitled to make it look like Featherston was freaking out over being banned from uBox Live. Now the parodies are all over WeTube.
