Jünger's Germany: The Nationalist Anarchist

You're going to need to explain why the Beer Hall Putsch conspirators were executed. IOTL they weren't even given that harsh of sentences because the government feared right-wing backlash, and because they did what they did for "patriotic reasons."

Gustav Ritter von Kahr was not only taken hostage by the NSDAP, he was also complicit in his own plans to overthrow the current government. He was also tied to the Bavarian nationalists who wanted an independent Bavaria. He may want to purge a select few of the Nazi leadership, Rosenberg, Von Scheubner Richter, if he survives in this timeline that is. If Von Kahr had really pushed the issue, and not had Hitlers testimony to sully his political reputation, he might have executed several of the Nazi leaders, although given Goering's flight to Austria, and the lack of any real talent in the NSDAP, it would very probably not kill the party.
 
But anarchism is exactly the reverse of the real party platform.

You could start a Junger Party, but then your problems are that anarchists have been against parties and are the least popular government kind out there. Sorry.
 
The thing is that 1920s Junger was not an anarchist. He was a conservative revolutionary with some ideas approaching fascism. His best friend of the time was Ernest Niekisch, who would later put the seeds of National Bolshevism. It was Jünger's experience of nazism and WWII that drove him towards his theory of the anarch (like I said, calling him an anarchist would be an overstatement.)

His political ideas in this era are clearly laid out in 1932 The Worker, and they are pretty much the opposite of anarchism, since he posits an almost totalitarian society that combines prussian militarism with fascist modernity and stalinist command economy: basically a nazbol Germany. This in itself would be enough to make for an interesting alternate Germany (he also calls for sex equality and doesn't care about racial theories, go figure), but certainly not anarchist. On the contrary, the main characteristic of The Worker's society is its constant state of full mobilization.

It is a problem to execute people for high treason, as that wasn't the penalty but lifelong imprisonment, § 81 RStGB. However, as four policemen had died as well, one could add murder here and execute them because of this. If Hitler had at least accepted the death of his "enemies" one can add incitement of murder, which is also punished with the capital penalty.

PART 2
THE RISE OF THE NAZANS
On January 30th, 1933, German President Paul von Hindenburg reluctantly appointed Ernst Jünger as Chancellor of Germany after the failure of the previous chancellors, Franz von Papen and Kurt von Schleicher.

Franz von Papen and Kurt von Schleicher, the last two Chancellors of Germany before the Nazan (National Anarchist) takeover.


Not long after Jünger's appointment as Chancellor, there was a mysterious attack on the Reichstag that was later found out to be committed by rival right-winger Heinrich Himmler.

Jünger used the attack as a justification to install the so-called March Constitution, which would transform Germany into a quasi-anarchist federation. After President Hindenburg's death on August 2nd, 1934,
Jünger would install Joseph Goebbels as President of Germany, understanding that the latter would be completely loyal to
Jünger.
