And here we are my friends, Great Patriotic War's grand debut on FaceApp. It's my first time using it, so don't judge. This is not an entry, but more of a spin off with the main guys in their old age.
The 95 Year Old William Dudley Pelley in 1985. This photo would be one of the last ever taken of him, as he would die silently the next week. The Free American Empire ordered a 1 week mourning non working holiday until he was buried in the original headquarters of the Silver Legion in Asheville, North Carolina. The holiday is still applies today, and remains the longest duration national holiday in the world.
Huey Long, the infamous "Kingfish" and main rival of Pelley, pictured around the same time as the latter. Long would be famous for surviving assasination and publicly executing his will be killer. Long would help Pelley overthrow Roosevelt and was assigned as Vice President in 1937. Although he never had ties to the Nazis, he frequently cooperated with underground fascist groups in America, until Pelley formed the United Fascist Front, a coalition of fascist parties. He fell out with Pelley due to political differences in 1939. He would die in 1986 at the age of 94.
Former President of the Free American Empire Charles Lindbergh in 1985, aged 83. Lindbergh would serve as President from 1950-1973, the longest term an American has served as President, equal to 23 years. He would oversee the progress in the Siberian War against Soviet remnants in assistance to Nazi Germany, and would be famous for helping to crush the Korean Revolution by "force and terror". Lindbergh would die in a car accident in 1989.

"Mrs. Pabst. I am writing to inform you that your husband, Waldemar Pabst, fell in battle at Verdun, serving as a hero for the German Empire. Generalmajor Pabst was one of the greatest officers I ever had the pleasure of serving with, and..." -Excerpt from the condolence letter written Generalleutnant Konstantin Schmidt von Knobelsdorf to Waldemar Pabst's wife in the aftermath of the Battle of Verdun.

One of the last photographs taken of Generalmajor Pabst before his death at the Battle of Verdun on February 24th, 1916

"Eisner was shot?! Mein Gott. And yet he still lives? Perhaps Bavaria has some luck yet left..." -Bavarian Minister of Education Johannes Hoffman's reported words upon learning of the assassination attempt on the People's State of Bavaria's Minister-President Kurt Eisner.
-----
Propaganda photo disseminated following Eisner's recovery, along with a statement by the Minister-President: "The reactionaries attempted to kill me. I am fine with that. They can try to kill me all they want. But they will never kill the revolution, nor will they ever kill Bavaria." Given that his Social Democratic Party had been soundly defeated by the center-right Bavarian People's Party in elections on January 12th, 1919, Eisner had intended to resign from his position as Minister-President on the day that Anton Arco-Valley made his attempt on Eisner's life. Following the assassination attempt, though, Eisner declared the election results invalid, and instituted a state of emergency in the People's State of Bavaria.

"From all sides, Bavaria is beset by reactionaries and capitalist tyrants. The murderous thugs of the Freikorps - sponsored by the new so-called "republic" ruling from Berlin - have been bringing violence upon our communities for months now, and the Reichswehr sits at our borders, threatening to "intervene" should the situation in our People's State "spiral out of control". No more of that. As of today, the People's State of Bavaria is sovereign and free, no longer under the yoke of the Berlin republic. Any further attempts to intrude upon our borders will be considered an act of war. Bavaria would prefer to live in peace, left alone to our own devices as we attempt to build our new socialist community. But if we must march our revolution all the way onto Berlin in order to save it, then we will do so. Long live the revolution. Long live Bavaria." -Statement issued by Eisner's government following the bombing.

"Can we afford yet another Bolshevik state in the world, this time on our doorstep? No, of course we cannot. Can we afford sending yet more young French men to die fighting against Germans? No, neither can we afford that. Send troops to the Saar Basin and have them ready to defend France's borders if the German Bolsheviks try to attack. Apart from that, though? Let Germany burn." -Reported words of French President Alexandre Millerand in response to civil war breaking out in Germany.
-----
Propaganda photo of Ernst Toller disseminated following his proclamation of himself as Der Dramatiker of the newly renamed Artistic State of Germany after Eisner's death in January of 1925.
-----
"And so as Lenin went a year ago, so too has Eisner now gone. Two fathers of two revolutions. But as all children, we must learn to stand on our own, out from under the shadow of our fathers. And as children grow up, they come to learn of the harsh realities of the world; to live, is to suffer. The past decade, with endless years of war and violence, has forced Germany to learn that much.
Eisner was a playwright. He was an artist. He understood the truth of suffering. I, too, am a playwright, and am an artist, and so I also understand that truth. But I cannot be the only artist in Germany, nor can I be the only one to understand that truth. No; in order to better understand the suffering of our world, and in order to better right the suffering of our world, we must all be artists. Every single last one of you, my brothers and sisters, must become artists. We must become those who truly understand suffering, and we must become those who can face suffering with courage and with pride." -Excerpt from Toller's declaration of the establishment of the Artistic State of Germany.
-----
Der Dramatiker, another propaganda photo of Toller disseminated during his rule over the Artistic State. Toller aimed for something resembling a populist aesthetic, where-in he exemplified "the ideal artist" for all other Germans to emulate, following an ideology known as "Künstlerismus", or "Artisticism" in English.
-----
OOC: Waldemart Pabst, one of the OTL leaders of the Freikorps, dies at the Battle of Verdun. The Spartacist Uprising still fails in Berlin, but Kurt Eisner - who OTL died from Anton Arco-Valley's assassination attempt - manages to survive the attack on his life in Munich. Traumatized by the experience, he institutes an authoritarian government in Bavaria, and after provocation by the Weimar Republic, goes to war with the Berlin government. Following newly spurred-on socialist and anarchist uprisings in major cities across northern Germany, the Munich government manages to win the civil war, albeit with Germany in tatters as a result of the conflict.
Ernst Toller - who was in OTL an ineffectual president of the Bavarian Soviet Republic for six days following Eisner's assassination - manages to ingratiate himself with the Minister-President, using their shared occupation as playwrights in order to do so. Toller learns politics and governance under Eisner's tutelage, and - upon Eisner's death in 1925 from complications due to the attempt on his life six years earlier - takes control of Germany, purging the government of Marxists, anarchists, and socialists that refuse to bend the knee to his new "Artistic State".
Toller's new ideology - "Artisticism" - is vaguely Fascist in philosophy - if not necessarily in policy or in practice - in that it promotes struggle, suffering, and conflict as the ideal states of humanity, along with plenty of pseudo-esoteric thinking to go around about the true, spiritual nature of art. While not exactly totalitarian in the same way that the Soviet Union, Fascist Italy, or Nazi Germany were, the Artistic State still has a very "cult-like" atmosphere surrounding it - where-in the sort of "artistic fervor" that Toller has inspired in the German populace results in a sort of "communal totalitarianism" where your neighbors will punish you for going against the values of Künstlerismus - with an actual cult of personality obviously being constructed around Der Dramatiker himself.
While I started off with the concept of "socialist revolution succeeds in Germany post-WWI", I ended up being inspired by France from the "Red Flood" mod for Hearts of Iron IV toward the end.

One more photo of OTL Toller for the road. The man gives me powerful Evola vibes, if I'm being honest.

MISCHELANIOUS SPRINGFIELD CHARACTERS
The Infamous Oregon millionaire Charles Montgomery Burns, owner of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, seen above during his failed attempt at running for President in 2004. Burns has been called many things, such as a tyrant, a criminal, a scoundrel, the devil, the dark side of capitalism and evil incarnate. All of which he appears to take with pride.
His running mate the philanthropist and self proclaimed evil genius Hank Scorpio, formerly the owner of the Globex Corporation, the Denver Broncos and a man who, at the time of the 2004 Presidential elections was serving a life sentence for his attempt to take over the East Coast of the United States, which saw the destruction the 59th Street Bridge.
The controversial Springfield Mayor Joseph Fitzgerald O'Malley Fitzpatrick O'Donnell Quimby. His attempt to run for the governorship of Oregon would be shot down by an expose written by future United States president Lisa Simpson dubbed "The Open Secret" which would reveal to the public a shocking laundry list of adultery and corruption.
Springfield gangster Marion Anthony "Fat Tony" D'Amico the underboss to Don Vittorio DiMaggio. Fat Tony was infamous for his illegal gambling rackets, as well as his smuggling and bootlegging rackets, and was a feared and infamous member of the Springfield Mafia, with Mayor Quimby and the chief of police in his pocket, before dying of a heart attack.

A steam-powered walking war machine (built out of a steam locomotive and four mechanical legs) pictured here shortly after walking out of the factory in the early 1900s. Various world powers would construct them and they would be used throughout various wars (World War I, World War II and even as late as the Korean and Vietnam Wars) before being replaced with diesel-powered versions. The walking war machines that were built and used in the United Kingdom and the rest of the British Empire would often be known as Imperial Walkers.
An electric rail vehicle used by the police to patrol Sub-New York. We had to use a local camera after all our equipment was confiscated by the paranoid local government run by the tyrannical New American Frontier party. Apparently some sort of catastrophe has affected the surface of Earth 479-Fie though we weren’t able to discern it’s exact nature before the extraction team got us out.
-Captain Daniels, Recon Team 65
This kinda looks like something “The Peaceful” would build from my Gatsbyverse post I had on here a while ago.
