There's some apps that you've looked over, not commenting on 'em. Is there any particular reason you've done this?

I’ve already accepted the majority of the apps. Any submitted after that first run through will be reviewed before the IC goes up like I’ve stated prior.

Height: 6'0"
Weight: 148 lbs.
Voice (Describe how it sounds): IDK, pretty german i guess

Position: Reichsminister of Economics and Finance
Title/Titles: Former CEO of CreditSuisse, Former Dean of the University of Berlin, Reichsminister

Short Bio: Konstanz, Germany was a picturesque town on the border with Switzerland, it was here the young Adolph spent his infant years, his father was a watch maker and wanted the best for his only child. When Adolph was 6 years old his father moved to Zurich, where he became a watchmaker for Rolex, here his family really came into its own, showing its true potential. His father rose to high ranking job on the design team for Rolex soon making six figures a year, meanwhile his wife became a well respected university teacher at the university of Switzerland. It was not Adolph's original intention to enter finance, when he was growing up he wanted to become a sports announcer, but these dreams faded when reality hit him. He soon came to absorb a lot of knowledge about economics and finance. When he was 18 he attended the University of Berlin back in his home country of Germany. Here he was a backward student, who often had trouble seeing eye to eye with his teachers. He dropped out after 3 years, and went back to Switzerland, it was on this train ride back home he met a peculiar man, the two men ended up wrapped up in a conversation, apparently this man had gone through the same situation as Adolph when he was younger.

He talked about the current banking economic situation of Europe, sharing his views and often agreeing with the principles of Bismarcks Realpolitik. After several hours of talking about himself the other man introduced himself, little did he know, but Adolph had been talking to the then president of Credit Suisse, one of the largest banks and stock companies, a close second to Duestchebank. The man saw the potential in Adolph and offered him a job on the board of directors, as his old Chief of Marketing had just retired. Adolph agreed and before he knew it he was a well respected banker among the business world. He was able to find numerous gaps in the Asian and American markets that helped expand Credit Suisse banking influence outside of Europe. When the old CEO retired Adolph became the new one, and saw a top down reorganization of the company that made it wildly more efficient. However the old man, that had talked with Adolph on that train ride had become frail and old, one morning on a fateful day he just didn't get out of bed. With him dead, the presidency of the corporation past to the mans Son, who wasn't nearly as fond of Adolph as his father was. With no where to go, Adolph went back to Berlin, he was given a job in the economics department of the University and began to study and teach economics. He created his own school of thought, between the Chicago and Keynsian schools, known as the Berlin School of Economic Thought. Several books later his policies and suggestions began to be taken up by the government. On his 54th birthday, he got a surprising phone call from the Kaiser, he wanted him to become the Reichsminister of Finance, after much deliberation he agreed to leave the university bringing some of his closest colleagues and best students with him to reorganize the Finance system of the country. His friend Klaus Spitze became the head of the Imperial Reserve Bank and he created a new circle of Economics ministers. Reform after Reform curbed a government debt crisis, using microeconomic management to improve the economic situation, unlike the previous ministers Adolph believed in managing things from a Microeconomic level and not the Macroeconomic level, believing that looking into every little detail was more important than the big picture.

Thank you

We will have to see where Gerald Hitler falls within the chain of command, because the security forces fall under the Reichsicherheitshauptamt, not under the interior ministry. The interior ministry would be commanding local police forces. Compare it with the US Department of Justice and the FBI, if the FBI were a separate ministry.

Ah, But he basically is the supreme commander cause he got the chiefs in his pockets.

He basically controls Reichminister of Defense as his idol is Hitler so his nephew would be someone of importance to him

Well, the chief of the RSHA is my character, so I might have something to say about that. It'd rather not, to be honest.

[Freistaat Hannover]

What does the RHSA even do? "Reichsicherheitshauptamt" (I think it would be spelled Reichssicherheitshauptamt if anything) sounds like the intelligence agency of the Kaiserreich, much like the Sicherheitsdienst and the Abwehr were the intelligence agencies of nazi Germany.

Where do all these "Nazified" names come from?

The RHSA was the overarching security ministry of Nazi Germany. It's the parent ministry of the Gestapo and the Sicherheidsdienst, and interwoven with the SS.

The Nazified names probably come from the fact that the Nazi government gained power at one point.

Aye, but keep in mind that the nazis weren't all powerful, were they? The Kaiserreich has a constitution, and, as long as that constitution pretty much stays the same, which it would thanks to the Prussian nobility and all that, Hitler's rise to power would be VERY, VERY different to him coming to power in the Weimar republic. The Weimar republic didn't have such a strong constitution, which made it really easy for Hitler to nazify rapidly. In an Imperial Germany, you'd either have a young king, quite influential. He could be influenced by the nazis, but his advisors and regents would probably keep him more monarchistic. An older king, possibly less influential, most probably is a member of the old guard and will not be very open to the major social change that the Hitlerites proposed.

Keep in mind: Nazi-Germany had resistance groups against Hitler. Noblemen, to a relatively big extent, openly protested Adolf Hitler's Germany, fled, or tried to continue resistance against him. Hitler, in the early thirties of Europe, was sometimes seen as a leftist, trying to destroy class, using corporatism to threaten the capitalist elite, and so on. He would likely not implement a lot of his more "national socialist" ideals, such as an SA and later SS that would go about harassing non-Germans, and he wouldn't quite get the Nuremberg laws in, as Germany, with a Kaiser at its head, would be a far different place than it was in our time.

I'm not saying anything has to be changed, but you lot are rushing towards German institutions that were founded during the time of national socialism, not during the time of the Kaiser, which kind of defeats the point of this RP, doesn't it?

I don't know, I didn't think of this, but this is getting confusing, with all the nazi stuff and that.

Just a note, Janik and the Warsaw Feldgendarmerie and the Civilian Police in Poland are independent of the Reichsicherheitshauptamt and the Interior Ministry. They answer to the Kaiser(in) directly. This doesn't include the Gestapo or SS.

The Feldgendarmerie and Feldjäger wouldn't be commanded by the Reichssicherheitsamt or the Interior Ministry anyway; They're Heer units and therefore answer to the Kaiserin as Commander in Chief indirectly, and are organized so that they would normally answer to the chief of the Oberkommando des Heeres or Chief of Army High Command.

The Feldgendarmerie & Feldjägerkorps in Poland might be subjected to other orders, ofcourse, but they certainly wouldn't be listening to the Reichssicherheitsamt, as they're part of the regular army.

Very nice post! One little thing: The Prussian heavy cavalry life guard units were called "Garde du Corps". "Korps" is a specific unit, say, an "Infantry Corps" is a "Infanteriekorps". A "Garde du Corps" is french for "Life guard", and the Prussian Garde du Corps were the elites of the Prussian cavalry.

Just some everyday knowledge / facts. Not meaning to disrespect/insult.

Yes, it’s a bit of a reference to the fact many German names starting with a C were switched to K as a means to Germanize them more.

When did that happen? The Germans took names starting with a C and changed them to a K? Did that happen during Hitler's administration?
