Das Dritte Reich, an Alternate History project:
The year is 1925. The world is still in great shock from the 'War to end all Wars' which had ended barely six years ago, under painful circumstances for Germany: colonies had to be ceded to the victorious Entente-powers; large European territories were lost to neighbors; a limit was put on the number of soldiers allowed to join the German Army; the Rhineland, the heart of the Reich, came under Entente occupation; transport from East Prussia to the rest of Germany has become very difficult with the loss of Danzig and surrounding areas; and last but definitely not least, the Reich is forced to pay off unpayable reparation debts to the victors.
On the 28th of February 1925, as if all the earlier-mentioned trouble wasn’t enough, the "Reichspräſident", Friedrich Ebert, dies due to various health problems. Leaders of various parties campaign to become Germany's new president. On the 29th of March, Karl Jarres of the Deutſche Volkspartei (German People’s Party) wins the elections but lacks a majority. According to the constitution of the Republic, a second round is required if no majority is gained.
Karl Jarres also wins the second round. This time, with an overall majority of the voters. This meant that he would officially become the Reichspräſident of Germany. But then, he made a surprising move. He gives away his candidacy to a strong and fierce imperialist and anti-democrat: Paul von Hindenburg.
Later, Paul von Hindenburg destroys German democracy by granting Adolf Hitler chancellorship.
What if Jarres had kept his candidacy? Examine this by going to Chapter 1:1.
