I don't recall seeing this WI before, but it is a rather obvious one. Really, the Weimar Republic could've gone communist or fascist and it so happened that the fascists were the ones to seize power. What if it was the communists?
Well, no.Really, the Weimar Republic could've gone communist or fascist
Maybe some sort of reverse Reischstag fire? A prominent anti-communist politician [perhaps even AH himself!] is found guilty of the fire and executed?
No. No, it wasnt. The Rhenish speratist movement was the most pathetic seperation movement ever. A bunch of guys recruited by the French who absolutely could not find any followers. It was French wishful thinking, thats all. And Bavaria jumping on secession at every possible turn? Thats an AH cliche.IMO this was a near run thing; the Rhineland and Bavaria could easily break off.
Well, if you were paying 10 trillion marks for a pair of underwear, you might consider comunism
