Kaiserreich

The monarchy has returned. Hitler's ambitions have not diminished.

Germany enters 1934 with a restored Crown, a functioning Reichstag and a Chancellor determined to overcome the restraints placed upon him. Kaiser Wilhelm III must turn the promise of constitutional government into something that can withstand intimidation, political violence and the hunger for absolute power.

Ernst Röhm's vast SA demands its reward. The army guards its independence. Hermann Göring pursues German recovery while navigating the rivalries of the movement that brought him to power. Behind the speeches and parades, competing loyalties threaten to tear the new settlement apart.

For ordinary German families, these struggles reach into classrooms, workplaces and neighbourhoods. Economic revival offers hope, but persecution and Party coercion force people to decide what they will tolerate-and what they are prepared to resist.

As Germany seeks a new place in Europe, the struggle at home becomes decisive. Can the Crown and parliament hold their ground when the men they seek to restrain command millions of followers?

Kaiserreich: Volume Two-1934 continues Troy Tempest's alternate-history series, following a Germany in which Hitler holds office but must contend with institutions he cannot simply abolish.
