Hindenburgs Son Oskar von Hindenburg was in OTL an important person during the rise of Hitler. He was also his father's personal assistant. How could he become Chancellor and rule Germany long term?

I'm not looking into how German-Austria might be allowed to unite with Germany or if the Sudetenland and South Tyrol would be included, that's all been discussed before. Rather, these specific details: 1. Does Austria accede as a single state, a "Free State of Austria", or do the...

Hey, this is my second attempt to write a timeline. This one essentially deals with a Germany that avoids the National Socialists. Not all is well and good though. All the toxic and venomous ideas that were born after the Great War and grew in the chaos of Weimar are still around. So lets...

I've had this question in the back of my mind but I can't seem to find any sources on whether or not the Germans were allowed to help the Whites fight against the Reds. Any sort of intervention, whether with volunteers, regular forces, or just arms exports is what I'm looking for. On a...

This alternate history scenario explores what could have happened if Hitler wasn't named chancellor of the Weimar Republic.

Amid the tensions brought about by the Ruhr Crisis, the French government decides to send a clear message to the Germans in 1923. Whilst the French army occupies the Ruhr itself, bombers are sent in to "pre-emptively" bomb several German cities in the Rhineland. Casualties reaches the thousands...

I heard that Reichbanner, SPD's paramilitary wing, planned to cut phone lines and destroy bridges, and block road and rail in case nazis came to power. But this didn't come into fruition as SPD leadership rejected it. If this plan was activated in 1933, would it saved Weimar Republic from nazism?

Hello all, I have been recently starting to write my first alternate history story where Hitler dies in WWI, and during the early 1930s the Hohenzollern monarchy gets restored by the German National People's Party (DNVP). The only problem is I'm having a hard time figuring out how it will...

If the Weimar Republic had survived indefinitely without any extremists (left or right) coming to power, how would that have effected the future of European colonialism in Africa and South East Asia? I am of course, thinking particularly about WWII not happening at all. Surely even if no WWII...

what if somehow the Weimar Republic managed to get out of the depression and have a strong economy? Would hitler still come to power? Whould ww2 still happen?

What if in the 1920s the Germans with US support refused to pay the French the reparations. Thus when the depression hit the Germans would have been in a better position and the French may have hit the low the Germans hit and leading to a aggressor France. What form would this have taken...

So, you've just joined Arch Dubliner, what will you do? I suppose write a timeline; get prominent. Well, Obviously. I mean what about? Hm... Has the Weimar Republic been done much? YES! What about stories wherein an obscure figure from that period suddenly became important? If you're...

Are there any resources online, listing the politicians that were active during the Weimar-era/interwar period in Germany?

What if Austria had been the one to initiate Anschluß Österreichs instead of OTL's Germany? Would the POD have to be Hitler serving in the Austro-Hungarian Army during World War I and somehow becoming Chancellor of Austria that sets his sights on a weak Germany? What I am angling at is Austria...

Hey all, I've been doing some thinking following some of my poli sci classes. We all hear that the US entry into the League left the League without a critical member nation to maintain stability in a capacity similar to the UN. I'm not entirely certain how a US president could garner public...
