If Kat would turn down a free muffin (that doesn't obviously have like a lit stick of dynamite in it) then I'm the Sultan of Brunei.
Oh, not that she would turn it down, but there's things she would like better.

Oh I'm sure, but Ben has to work within his means.
I also think that Petya has a soft spot for him. I could see her bringing him into the house and working on the Grafin, letting her know he''s not that bad of a person.
It looks like Vicky and Rea are going to be tabloid newspaper fodder in the next few years just like Princess Stephanie of Monaco is IOTL.
I'm pretty sure there are treaties banning such a deploymentI just had an evil thought, imagine the royal twins meeting up with Tilo's nephews. Would humanity survive? Could we unleash them as weapons on the enemies of Germany?
I wonder if something like the Baader-Meinhof Gang Red Army Faction will appear?
With the passing of years since the defeat of the Soviet Union, the might be a reexamination of Marxist theory and I could see middle class and upper middle class professional students deciding that the Lang Revolution has been betrayed and only violent revolutionary action will change the course of Germany.
Unlikely..... If anything, Augustus Lang exemplified the concept of PEACEFUL REVOLUTION, a bloodless change in society and government, and in open contrast to the Marxism-Leninism's claim of armed Revolution and "Dictatorship of the Proletariat.....The reason I asked about the possibility of something like the Baader-Meinhof Gang Red Army Faction making an appearance is that while the KPD in Germany and Marxist-Leninism in general are discredited there should be quite a few Trotskyist and non Leninist Marxists still running around in academic circles offering new interpretations of Marxism to new university students who could considered to be gullible.
For those who have been born after 1934, they are probably the first generation of young men who has not faced conscription when they turned 18 and that is going to be a big cultural sea change in Germany.
In the post about Augustus Lang funeral there was a young scruffy student that handed Emil a leaflet with a a picture of Lang that said "Be your own Revolution" and that could be interpreted in so many ways that is not peaceful and productive.
Very good points but I think the death penalty was abolished and while you are right about Lang and peaceful revolution it would not be the first time that someone completely missed the point and reinterpret into something that is far from what it originally was.Unlikely..... If anything, Augustus Lang exemplified the concept of PEACEFUL REVOLUTION, a bloodless change in society and government, and in open contrast to the Marxism-Leninism's claim of armed Revolution and "Dictatorship of the Proletariat.....
A middle way in contrast to the hard right and Hard left movements.. One that managed to conciliate the existence of a Social State, a capitalist economy, and a liberal Monarchy in a single country....... Given the sheer success of Germany in World War II, and the 20 years after it, it has only vindicated Augustus Lang's political doctrine while the Soviet Union crumbled as an example of tyranny, corruption and inefficiency, and the Japanese Empire was made to surrender and start the path towards their reform in the German style of government......
If something like the Baader Meinhof rose, it would be short lived, as unlike OTL, they would lack any support......and unlike OTL, they would end meeting the guillotine in Spandau without hesitation, being labeled as "Neo-Stalinist terrorists"....
Odds are that the band is going to break up a LOT sooner than OTL, specially once their Artistic Representative digs in the reason why their concerts's assistance and offers have dried up.Zella had eventually told Conrad that the band wasn’t available for an interview and had sent a memo telling the typesetters to remove any mention of the band’s upcoming shows from the A&E promotions page. She hoped that they enjoyed the obscurity resulting from their singer’s boorish behavior.
