Don't get involved with Nazi Germany, don't try to get the scraps off its plate with accepting the territories awarded with the two Vienna Conferences. It'd piss off all of its neighbours (again) and made Hungary dependent on German support and create obligations to provide assistance in return...

It'll feel worse in a five days to a week. Get stocked up on food (I would suggest soup and fruits) and other necessities early. Buy some Vitamins C and D3 and take some daily. Brew yourself teas or fruit infusions or warm milk and be generous with the sugar. The appetite will probably disappear...

Peasant life in the Middle Ages wasn't that bad. There was, indeed a mention from Emperor Maximilian of the HRE of life being 'brutish and short', but he was specifically referring to the Landsknecht (which he created).

At least, this attack would increase the support for their monarchy in the empire.

I don't see what the issue with the promotion is. In the military (or similar institutions) to hold rank and to hold position is not necessarily the same thing. There's also the frequent issue of different chains of command, and even delegation of authority. The main difference would probably be...

If they could have been trained to duck when necessary, they would have been assigned to the Infantry.

Edward VII style.

Young Manfred is not a Person of Interest by himself, only by virtue of having some pretty illustrious relatives. As such, he's probably a sidenote on Kat's (and his dad's) file. It's pretty unrealistic, even for an intelligence operative, to know all possible 'people of interest'. He/She'd...

-shrug- "[...] Duty is heavier than a mountain." That's why the people who are admired are the ones who mostly live their lives for others, regardless of hardships.

Honestly, in this case, it seened that Kat put the idea in Suse's head when it wasn't there before.

The thing is you (well, intelligence agencies, rather) have a limited number of specialized personnel. Those people need to be replaced periodically, and the same is true for the overwatch. And if you have a second team, a better use might be to keep the back of the building under surveillance...

Kiki has probably quite a bit of experience with traumatized people. It's normal, everyday people, herself, and sometimes her family that she can't get a handle on.

Ah, I forgot about all about the Chicken Farmer.

That's quite far off the mark from Manfred, who's a pretty well known quantity by them. And also, it's frankly pretty insulting.

Starting in the 20's Berlin was pretty much the gay capital of the world, with the gays and the lesbians having their own magazine (each), openly gay, lesbians and drag-queen bars, etc. Of course, that was until the NSDAP took power. Since that didn't happen, it's possible that ITTL it...
