Presidents

Chancellors

Imperial Germany

• Late 19th century: Otto von Bismarck

"The Franco-Prussian War… what was that all about? I responded by explaining that it was largely about Bismarck using the humiliation of France as a pretext for the reunification of Germany". (PROSE: The Beasthouse ^[+]Loading...["The Beasthouse (short story)"])

"[Hitler] had been displaying the plans for the new Fuehrer Palace, destined to be the crowning achievement of the New Berlin. It would be one hundred and fifty times greater than the old Bismark Chancellery." (PROSE: Timewyrm: Exodus ^[+]Loading...["Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)"])

Weimar Republic

• 1932: Franz von Papen

(AUDIO: The Alchemists ^[+]Loading...["The Alchemists (audio story)"])

Nazi Germany

• 1933-1945: Adolf Hitler

"In history, the real history, Hitler's Thousand Year Reich lasted from 1933 to 1945. Twelve years and that was it. Finished." (PROSE: Timewyrm: Exodus ^[+]Loading...["Timewyrm: Exodus (novel)"])

"January the thirtieth, 1933. Adolf Hitler appointed Chancellor of Germany." (AUDIO: Neverland ^[+]Loading...["Neverland (audio story)"])

• 1945: Joseph Goebbels

"Over the following week, Hitler grew increasingly paranoid. [...] He had declared Goering a traitor, largely egged on by his personal secretary Martin Bormann. As we have seen, he also denounced Himmler. Only Bormann and Goebbels remained close and loyal." (PROSE: The Shadow in the Glass ^[+]Loading...["The Shadow in the Glass (novel)"])

NOTE: Technically, The Shadow in the Glass makes no reference to his brief chancellorship.

West Germany

• Konrad Adenauer

"Konrad who? Adenauer? You won’t see him: he’s in prison."

"For my part I had no idea who Konrad Adenauer was. I asked Elgar, and was given a short but detailed history of Adenauer’s career, from Mayor of Cologne onwards to his current imprisonment by the Nazis." (PROSE: The Turing Test ^[+]Loading...["The Turing Test (novel)"])

NOTE: No stories make reference to his eventual post-war chancellorship.
