Crumbling Reich: A Weimar Republic Game (Gameplay Thread)

Adolf Hitler response to Otto Wels

Every one of my associates is loyal, both to me and the idea that Germany can be more than it is right now. That is far more than I can say about any one of your associates. When I become the Chancellor, I will not forget this grievous insult done to me and my party, and I will make you pay for it in blood. But not before then.

Hitler targets Otto Strasser

Adolf Hitler sends the SA on an assignment. Take out Otto Strasser, by any means necessary, while avoiding the murder of any other civilians.

The goal is for Strasser to be "disappeared" by the next election.

Hitler response to Hugenberg, Berlin

Alfred Hugenberg has no right to criticize me for my loyalty to the fatherland, just because I don't want to bring back the Kaiser. Remember, I won the Iron Cross twice in defense of the fatherland, which is far more than he can say. His party isn't the only one promising to restore Germany's glory. Elect me Chancellor, and Germany will be great again, I guarantee it.

[NewYorkExpress]

Adolf Hitler responds to Otto Wels

Otto Strasser was no member of my party. Need I point out that he abandoned the party to form his own organization? His brother, at least has common sense, and knows what this party is about.

I am astonished that you would suggest that Otto Strasser remains a Nazi to this day.

Adolf Hitler

 Adolf Hitler campaigned across the length and breadth of Germany. He spent most of his time targeting Foreign Minister Mahuran, citing the negotiations he was involved in that would give away Danzig in perpetuity, and promising that Austria, Alsace and Lorraine, the Sudetenland and Danzig would be added to German territory.

He also made it very clear that while he admired the Hohenzollern monarchy on personal level, he did not support their return as Kaisers of Germany. Instead, he encouraged the remaining members of the Hozerhollern's to run for the Reichstag in the future.

Adolf Hitler's response to Otto Wels

If Herr Wels wants to take my comments and make them a death threat, that's his right. I've never said I'd kill him, and there is a world of difference in my mind between him and Otto Strasser. I said I would "remember this insult and make you pay for it in blood". Does that mean that I, personally, intend to kill you? No. Does that mean that I intend to have you killed? Probably not. What it means, is I intend to leave you and your political ideals so powerless, that you wish that will be dead. That is what I meant by that statement.

Adolf Hitler

I and my party did not authorize the attempted assassination of Herr Wells. We are seeking, at the moment, to earn the Chancellorship by legitmate means, and murdering opponents who have remained in Germany and continue to provide a valuable service, however distasteful it is to the fatherland would be counterproductive.  

Hitler purges SA leadership for unauthorized assassination attempt

Hitler has ordered SA commander Ernst Rohm to eliminate the local SA leadership in Berlin for carrying out an unauthorized assassination attempt on Otto Wells.  

[NewYorkExpress]

Adolf Hitler

As much as I enjoy seeing Communists arrested, I'm astonished that Chancellor Von Papen is using the police to boost his chances of staying in office. We, the German People, will ensure that this tactic will not work.

As for Herr Thalmaan... even if the Government weren't arresting your peers, you are the last person President Hindenburg would ask to form a Government. He is terrified of Communists in general, and it long believed that you take orders from Josef Stalin himself. President Hindenburg will only appoint a Chancellor who's priority to make Germany the power it once was, and that candidate is not you.

[NewYorkExpress]

Adolf Hitler

Herr Thaalmann, the attempted assassination of Herr Wels was not sanctioned by me, and the SA members who authorized it are being dealt with. As for the attempted assassination of Herr Otto Strasser, that may have authorized by me, but I'm pretty certain I did not authorize attempting to kill Herr Strasser in broad daylight in front of a room full of people.

Adolf Hitler response to Alfred Hugenberg

Who my grandfather is has long been a status of dispute in my family. In addition to Herr Frankenberg, there is Johann Heidler and Johann Nepomunk, neither of whom are Jewish. I am  appalled at Herr Hugenberg's allegations about my ancestry without any proof at all, and I call on him to retract the allegations. 

[NewYorkExpress]

Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler closed the NDSAP campaign in Nuremberg, calling out each of the other parties for betraying Germany or in the case of Chancellor Von Papen, bringing back the Kaiser, who has already failed Germany.

His political organization has been hard at work identifying voters willing to vote for the NDSAP and will be assisting them in getting to the polls.

Adolf Hitler's comments on the Berlin Treaty

Any treaty that requires us to continue to pay so called "war guilt" is an unfair treaty to the German People. The fact is the Austrians, Serbians and the Russians started the last war, and we were simply enforcing our treaty obligations.

They should be paying reparations, not us.

[NewYorkExpress]

Hitler response to Thalmann

There is no member of my party that is in Chancellor Von Papen's cabinet at present, so I have no idea what you are talking about. If I had gotten my way on the composition of the government, I and the members of my party would actually be represented, since I currently have the largest party in the Reichstag.

[NewYorkExpress]

Hitler response to Thalmann

I think everyone except your party is supporting this government at present, Herr Thalmann.

Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler announces that the SA will not assist in the putting down of the strikes, saying that the Reichpolizi is doing a "fine job".

[NewYorkExpress]

Adolf Hitler response to Wels and Hugenberg

I promised Herr Mahuran that he would remain in the cabinet. That said, I would prefer not see him as Foreign Minister because of his willingness to acknowledge our "war guilt" and his attempts to barter away Danzig, which is German territory. If he is once again made Foreign Minister, I will withdraw the support I have given this government, and reintroduce the vote of no-confidence I have withdrawn.

[NewYorkExpress]

Adolf Hitler

In a speech in Berlin, Hitler warned Von Papen that he was "on a clock" to solve the strikes, or he would move to bring the down the government.

Hitler also suggested that should the strikes not be resolved, either with the Reichswehr or with early elections, the SA would step in.

[NewYorkExpress]

Hitler response to Thalmann

Given this government's inability to solve your strikes, I have decided to withdraw my support of Chancellor Von Papen, and call for a vote of no-confidence.

Congratulations, you win the battle, but you will lose the war.

[NewYorkExpress]

Adolf Hitler

It is high time we had new elections. In addition, the situation in Bavaria is intolerable. The Hozerhollen Monarchy cannot be allowed to return to the throne of Germany in any way shape or form.

As such, I call on President Hindenburg to turn out the government in Bavaria, and replace the Statkomissar there with someone who is committed to either the Fuhrerprinczep or a Democratic system of Government. There is no place for monarchy in Germany.

[NewYorkExpress]

Adolf Hitler

The NDSAP will be joining Communist protests against the appointment of Crown Prince Rupprecht as Bavarian Statkommisar across Germany. Special attention will be paid to any protests occurring in Bavaria.

[NewYorkExpress]

Hitler response to Hugenberg

Just because you want the monarchy back doesn't mean anyone, both inside and outside of Germany wants it back.

SA to march on Berlin?

Rumors are flying that Adolf Hitler has ordered the SA, in advance of likely crackdown of armed political wings, to march on Berlin and depose President Hindenburg and Chancellor Von Papen.

While Hitler and SA Commander Ernst Rohm publicly deny such an order exists, the plan, based off Mussolini's march on Rome is to go forward imminently.

[NewYorkExpress]

Imminent Coup-Hitler

With the assistance of the entire SA, 7,000 members of the SS, and the leadership of the Nazi Party (minus Goering, who has stayed behind to become the designated successor should something happen to Hitler), Hitler launches a putsch against President Hindenburg and Chancellor Von Papen.

His goal is to take over the Reichstag, the Presidential residence, all government buildings in Berlin, and the various states of Germany, and get himself named Fuehrer, which for these purposes means he needs to force the resignations of both President Hindenburg and Chancellor Von Papen.

The Putsch is set for the very next day, from the calling up of the Reichswher.

Hitler will be at the head of the Nazi forces in Berlin, assisting in the takeover of the Reichstag Building, assisted by the NDSAP members of the Reichstag (minus Georing) and portions of the SA. Other sections of the SA (and Rohm) will be assigned to taking over government offices across Berlin and capturing the Presidential residence. The SS will be providing support to the SA, both in Berlin, and elsewhere in Germany, where they are expected to capture the state governments.

Hitler also expects, based on previous sentiments among the the rank-and file of the Reichswehr, to defect to him, as well as a significant portion of the Reichspolizi.

Adolf Hitler addresses the SA and SS outside of Berlin

By the end of this day, we will be the masters of Germany. We have the courage, the strength to take what is ours.

I believe in each and every one of you, that we may triumph and become the rulers of Germany, and then Europe.

[NewYorkExpress]

Von Papen

I think we can all agree that suppressing the Nazi Party is a good thing right? However, I noticed that a formal ban on Hitler's political testament, Mein Kampf, was not included in the bill. Now I read that book, and it said in graphic detail exactly what he planned to do to both Germany and to Europe. I believe if we are to permanently defeat Nazism, we must prevent it's ideas from spreading, and that means doing repugnant things like banning books. I call on the SPD to add a ban on the sale and possession of Mein Kampf and any other work of literature by a Nazi to their bill.
