What kind of potential rightwing regimes could rise in 1930s Germany other than the NSDAP?
If a traditionalist authoritarian monarchy did come back to Germany, that opens up some possibilities that have never been explored.Anyway the Monarchy comes back, possibly easier if Willie the stupid dies and his son takes charge
What about Kurt von Schleicher?
He tried to set up a cross-party government, split the Nazi Party, and rule by decree. That he had managed to offend almost everyone else in power sort of turned against him.
Now if he had been a little more careful . . .
Kapp would only work, if his coup succeeds. He was really unimportant before his coup and became irrelevant after it. So he has definitely no chance in the 1930ies. Kapp died 1922. And even if his coup succedes, I see other persons gaining a far more important role than him.Kapp?
Hard to see them gaining power by fair elections. Even together with the Catholic Center and some smaller parties.
Their share (DNVP, DVP, C, BVP etc.) was: 35% in 1919; 48% in 1920; 47% in 1924; 50% in 1924, part 2; 43% in 1928; 30% in 1930. Even at their best, too close to comfort.
