I've been thinking some about the parallels between the Japanese militarism and its culture of assassination during the late interwar era and WW2, and the German phenomena of Feme murders. The Feme murders where primarily directed against those who facilitated the Entente's supervision of German disarmament and reparations, but they were not too common.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make them more common, and more importantly be a deciding factor in Weimar era politics on a level similar to Japanese militarism and use of assassination as a tool? Preferably with a post 1918 POD.

What I'm looking for is more or less a Weimar where militarism, rather than the modern mass politics of Nazism, SPD Communists etcetera, dominates (that does not mean mass politics and new ideology's is extinct though).


I guess the POD must facilitate a larger more active German military (in the political life), yet impose enough limits for the military so that part of the military establishment lash out against the civil government.
