On looking up some facts today I came across a tidbit regarding Erich Ludendorff and the beer hall putsch. Now in OTL he was not convicted for his involvement with it, but what if he had gone to the putsch and was arrested tried and convicted along with hitler. Also what if at the same time Rudolf Hess is killed during the putsch and as a result in stead of Hitler and Hess spending their time together in prison, Ludendorff and Hitler do. As such mein kampf isn't written or is published much later(considerably differently mind you), and hitler may very well have different political views as a result of prolonged time spent with Ludendorff.
I am thinking of writing a TL in which Hitler and Ludendorff become friends in prison with Ludendorff becoming sort of a father figure to the young Bavarian corporal. In this TL Hitler becomes more of a monarchist and rather than try to form a fascist movement in later years he makes a different turn and takes part in a movement to restore the monarchy but with Ludendorff in the leadership role. Now don't expect anything soon, as I get annoyed when I find a TL that I like but the writer of it gets distracted and the TL remains unfinished just as things get interesting, as such I plan on finishing or mostly finishing the first version of the TL before starting to post it.
I was wondering what other peoples thoughts would be on this particular subject.
