Politikerwanderung
-
A Very German Timeline in a Week

by Nils "Iserlohn" Nicolai



It took you a while to jump onto this bandwagon, huh?

Less than three years, buddy. Anyways, I got this idea a few days ago and really wanted to get it on paper.

Paper... Bloody troglodyte. So what exactly do you mean by “idea”?

A twist on the “Shuffling the Deck” formula, but for Germany.

Ooh, how original! Let me guess, Merkel becomes chancellor in 1974?

You know, because of Merkel I actually came up with a nice twist for this: I won't be using the OTL chancellors. Also not the losers of each election.

So who will it be instead? The winners of the German version of I'm a Celebritiy... Get Me Out of Here!?

No, the German presidents. Hence the “Politikerwanderung”. You know, like the Völkerwanderung, but from one major political office to the other?

I’m not 100 percent sold on this yet but if you manage to pull this off, it might be something. Your track record when it comes to finishing timelines isn’t great though, you know?

Look, I think I can write this and this is something that hasn't been quite done before so let me try and finish this, okay?

Okay. Just promise me that if you ever start another TLIAW you won't start it off with one of these stupid forced dialogues again.

I make no promises.
Now onto the TL!
