I think President L-V would restore the monarchy.
The Kaiser would be forced to accept the limited role of constitutional monarch
Once power has been consolidated crackdown on the SA thugs.
Next send military advisors and/or troops to Finland and the Baltic states.
Form a White Russian Gov't in Exile
Wait for WWII to start
If Germany wins they have hegemony over Eastern Europe, if they lose an Iron curtain drops across Europe
Also, having lost one's colonies Germany has nothing to lose if they start supporting liberation movements. This is especially useful when negotiating with country's that still have colonies. L-V also looks good from the freedom fighter's perspective.
Agree or disagreevon Lettow-Vorbeck gaining power in Germany is not a good thing. Check out some background on him and German East Africa.
Given his status as the last German commander to surrender, if he'd not been part of the Kapp pustch he may have been a good candidate to lead a later putsch. However, he detested politics, so getting him democratically elected requires a large change in his character.
I get the sense that if he was dictator of Germany, like Hitler, he would violently overthrow Versailles. So he may be a good candidate for leader in a "militarist Germany starts WW2" timeline.

reaction of Nazi to Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck becoming president?
If he went ala Hitler and became the Fuhrer, would he militarize Germany but not go on an expansion fit? Could he contain on trying to make Germany strong but still stay civil with his neighbors?
