Well, guess the good times got to end and the little flame of Europa snuffed out once again. Even in a timeline as mad as WMIT, or perhaps because of it, Hitler is there to make it even worse.
"What Madness Is This?" Volume I: The Union Forever

I'm cackling. You were a smart man, Perrault, and cautious too-- but FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD!
Dearie me, this is going to be a clusterfuck. Adolf is planning to corral a strong-willed, arrogant Pope and independent-minded South German rulers toward the restoration of... an institution that had famously horrible relations with both the Papacy and its own feudal vassals? Neither past precedent nor present conditions augur well for this little project. Someone ought to fix up the road to Canossa Castle, just in case of... unforeseen developments.
But assuming maximum success (and it's Madness so why not) you've got a possible German-Italian superstate that, assuming it achieves centralization/militarization (maybe Lincoln/Custer's takeover of the decentralized consular Union could be an inspiration for our friendly antifascists(TM)), can lead France-Spain around by the nose on foreign policy, all while the government in Paris tries desperately to paper over the growing divide in the Catholic camp to keep from being thrown out by the Evolist voters within their own borders.
Also, I thought Adolf Schicklgruber was going to be our TTL Hitler? What became of him?

So, that one line of Perrault decrying the Int’l Yankee Jew is just him pandering to the crowd?
Man, I feel bad for him, to be lucid enough to see the madness unfolding but powerless to do anything about it. By this point, Europe just being any less detailed will do wonders for its sanity.

Oh, you're right. I guess he was made a noble for his wartime service?
Even without the title, the people will still endearingly call him that.
Do I sense a Caesar Adolf von Braunau of the Holy Europan Empire on the horizon? A Europan Inquisition?
Also Supercatholic feels weird as a term and party name. You think a religious organisation would pull inspiration from the bible for sense of legitimacy (like the Sons of Jacob from Handmaidens Tale)

Honestly, I’m a little sad that Adolf seems to be jumping into full madness rather then be the one bastion of sanity they were in the Original
We were getting hints at full-on Aryanist esotericism earlier, 'Brahmin of Braunau' and all that, so there's definitely room for more insanity.

Oh boy.
Well, Heil Schicklgruber, I guess. I suppose that saying that will be mandatory, as will professing belief in Positive Indo-Europanist Supercatholicism (or whatever other crazy state-worship cult Hitler cooks up), if one doesn't want to get a visit from the State Security ministry's private armed forces?
What a rational and not at all terrifying sentiment! I see no way in which this backfires upon the Europan people!
Oh fuck me. Of course, we all know that this Holy Roman Empire will be a hell of a lot more centralized than the first. Dare I even say it might be... Fascist? Fascism with Europan Characteristics everyone!
Personally, I think the Crusader Party or the Sons of Mary Party would be a really good fit.
Or maybe Paladins to tie it into the Charlemagne and the holy roman empire
“Those Facist Illuminati Jews are trying to take the cocaine out of my soda pop in an insidious plot to mind control us and sell us into slavery under their Supercatholic allies!”
(A sentence there I never thought I’d ever say)
Good ol' Gruber is indeed von Braunau, with that being his minor nobility title.
As for Supercatholic, it actually makes sense when you read about Evola from OTL. "I am not a fascist. I am a superfascist." That's the inspiration. Lol

No, no, no, you got it wrong feller!
The Fascist Illuminati Jews are trying to put cocaine into our soda to promote race-mixing and force us to hand Jacksonland and Yonderland over to their African-American allies! The only reasonable solution is to ban cocaine! Hark the Sound of Sober Men's Voices!
(Jesus that sounds way too close to Infowars or some other nutbags for comfort. Blech.)
