Kaiser Wilhelm II did die in 1941, and he was succeeded by his son the Crown Prince as head of the Hohenzollern family, who lived only until 1951. By a complicated series of events, the current head of the Hohenzollern dynasty is this man, George Friedric and his lovely wife, Princess Sophie. They have several sons, and are still young enough to have more.
They also sometimes reside in the family castle, still in possession of the Hohenzollern family. I wonder, if he shoots a Merkel?
It was often said of his great grandfather, Wilhelm II, that he was more fickle, than false. Whoever was the last to be with him, would influence him enough that he'd convince himself his next swaggering, narcissistic, pompous, boastful, speech sprang from his own mind.
And all this, a century before Twitter politics, became normalized.
Perhaps today, Wilhelm II would have spent himself on Twitter, and his armies would not have marched on Belgium.
The everlasting ifs accumulate, it's been well said.
