Ah. Well Either way it can absolutely work for the situation in 1944
Cuban rebels in the Sierra Maestra during the Second Great War revolt. Ca. early 1944.
I always wondered but the books don't seem to go that way the Tin Hats were depicted as a veterans organization. More like a more organized American Legion or VFW
Eugene McCarthy being sworn in as President of the United States, following the assassination of President Humphrey in 1967 (more information: https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...federacy-tl-191.185493/page-302#post-24055617).
Smiling after your predecessor dies? Yeah that’s a red flag on its own
Adding to this
Screenshot of an episode of Hunting Featherston (2015-18), a tv series that aired on the History channel about the possibility that Jake Featherston escaped the CSA during the Second Great War. The series was criticized for promoting the false narrative of Featherston surviving the Second Great War.
Supposed picture of Jake and Lulu Featherston with their daughter Cindy. Researchers have found evidence that this was a photo of Featherston meeting with Lulu's family, with the little girl in the picture being Lulu's niece: Sarah.

Picture of Eugene McCarthy and Hubert Humphrey in the 1960 Socialist primary.
Eugene McCarthy and Hubert Humphrey were both men who wanted to become President of the United States. The competition in the 1960 Socialist primary between them had made the primary a close race. Humphrey made McCarthy his running mate to try and balance the ticket and keep McCarthy voters to stay with the party.
Conspiracy theories about Humphrey's assassination claimed that McCarthy was bitter over coming in at a distant second and plotted to assassinate Humphrey. Some claim that he hired Frank Blades to assassinate Humphrey and chose not to run in the 1968 election to prove he didn't kill his predecessor. During his trial, Frank Blades said that the assassination wasn't paid for by political rivals of Humphrey, to which cross-examiners and lie detectors proved that Blades was telling the truth. Despite this, the theory is one of the most well-known conspiracy theories in the United States, with 4.1 % believing in it by 2023.
You know, you may be right with that point. It'd definitely help explain the debate on whether Jeb Staurt Jr. is actually the real person or a fictional character. My personal belief is that he is the real life person, but Turtledove mistakenly put his birthdate as 1864, most definitely due a lack of info as you said, or he used a source in err. So I'd give Dr. Turtledove the benefit of the doubt. Stuart III might be fictional considering the timeline changes, as the real "Little Jeb", as he was referred to, died when he was 10 months old in 1888. There was another Stuart III whom he had as a later son, who was born in 1897 and lived up until 1990. It's also not the first time he's gotten the birthdates of characters wrong in the book. Forrest III, maybe real-life or analogue, but went up the ranks due to his talent and family at a young age before landing the CoS at 36.
Edit: I have also realized this could also explain the mistake of why Turtledove has two different regnal names for Wilhelm, German Crown Prince when he would've been Wilhelm III.

Not in and of it self. The Tin Hats are based on the Stahlhelm bund frontsoldaten which though having ties to the right was more of a veterans association than a Freikorps group, though there were plenty of cases of Freikorps members joining the Stahlhelm.
AFAIK there were no Freikorps analog in TL 191 as such.
