Suppose Paul von Hindenburg dies in early 1924. Who'd win the 1925 German presidential election?
 
Depends

The right might get another popular general (Mackensen, Lettow-Vorbeck, Prince Ruprecht) to run.
They were not as popular and wellknown than Hindenburg, so the result should be very narrow in this case.

Otherwise Marx should beat Jarres and become president.

Didn't someone do a TL about Linsingen being a stand in for Hindenburg???

There was also one about Lettow-Vorbeck, plus one with him in Africa as president of a nation there. It was interesting, but not plausible.

I think I remember the one you're talking about. It involved him and his white officers freeing the Askaris from prison after hearing about mistreatment at the hands of British Empire forces, and then leading a new war against the British until they recognize his East African empire or something like that, with the press in Germany and elsewhere cheering him on.

Never paid much thought about its plausibility (I read it in like 2000 or so, when I was 15).
