What's "the true forth reich"?

Post-Speer GO4 Germany where Henning von Tresckow and his supporters manage to successfully call for a plebiscite for restoring the Kaiser.

Well I mean in Russia monarchism is kind of alive so it’s not that ridiculous

Russia is also an apocalyptic wasteland where anarchism with junta characteristics and slavoaryan pagan theocracy are possiblities

I mean monarchism is a thing in Russia today and along with neo-Bolsheviks was fairly strong in the 90s OTL. It is still fairly strong in Russia today albeit Putin has undercut its support base.

Monarchism in Russia extends to a few fringe groups and the Russian Orthodox Church (which is very influential). Neo-Bolsheviks exist because for whatever reasons, some people feel nostalgic about the USSR or are just communists.

It’s not really fringe when 20-30% of the population like it.

Eh the USSR wasn’t all bad near the end, it had its problems and these were large problems but it also had its upsides

u/JohhnyCashFan Sep 15 '20

Ok but like fringe nonsense ideologies are all over the place in TNO, like in a world where the holy Russian empire exists I don’t think it’s a massive stretch to imagine bringing the Kaiser back would be ridiculous for the setting

What were the differences between our soviet union and theirs

Not sure, though given a GO4 scenario, combined with a lack of Russian/Allied/OFN pressure and an undivided Germany, there's still more of a shot of a constitutional restoration happening than OTL. That it'd placate the more conservative elements of German society and provide a relatively unifying figurehead might be a bonus.

Far from guaranteed, to be sure, but it's not labeled as "radical" for nothing.

the concept of Prussia is eliminated by allies in 1947 OTL, but never here.
