Yep, Hitler hasn't received 100 % in round one....
See, Lief, nothing is absolutely sure

Anyway, without any surprise for this round:
Goebbels

[Fmr. Emperor PiT]

     Goebbels

[Hashemite]

Joseph Goebbels

[Platypus]

Please please please keep it in one thread, Filliatre.

Also, Goebbels

[Sensei]

Merkel, duh

[big bad fab]

Please please please keep it in one thread, Filliatre.

Why not, but what's the problem ? Does it take too much space and push other threads on the 2nd page too quickly ? Or do you want votes' "history" in the same thread ?
Looking forward to your answer !

[Platypus]

Both, but particularly the first concern.

[GMantis]

Joseph Goebbels

[Old Europe]

Walter Scheel, because he was no Chancellor.

(There's no formal position of "Acting chancellor" in Germany and almost nobody in Germany would claim that Scheel was Chancellor once. He was foreign minister and vice chancellor and for a few days during his term there wasn't a Chancellor, so he was the highest-ranking government official for this period of time. If we pursue the nitpicking even further: Scheel wasn't acting chancellor, he was acting head of government. You're Chancellor if you're elected by the Bundestag. No election, no Chancellor. )

Joseph Goebbels

True, there isn't any "acting chancellor", but article 69 of German Basic Law is about the deputy federal Chancellor and about the fact that the president is able to ask a minister to take care of business during a vacancy. Hasn't Scheel been asked to rule the transition ?

One more evidence that it's better to ask everyone before launching a Survivor which is more than a list completely decided only by its "creator"...

Anyway, I won't change the list now and, as I've said before, Scheidemann hadn't the title of Chancellor.
And I may add that Krosigk refused to hold the title of Chancellor of the Reich, but it was pointless since he acted during only a few days and his government wasn't agreed by the Allies.

So let's keep those 3 exceptions, in one way or another.

[You kip if you want to...]

23. Joseph Goebbels (1945)

[Vasall des Midas]

Bismarck. Same reasoning as before.

[big bad fab]

Results of round two: Goebbels is out, but not with all the votes.

ROUND THREE IS OPEN

And I vote for Krosigk,

judged at Nuremberg, not exactly a nice guy, another hypocritical man, who wasn't a member of the NSDAP, but who was a real supporter and an actor.

[Hashemite]

Otto von Bismarck

[GMantis]

Lutz Schwerin von Krosigk

[Platypus]

Krosigk

[Magic 8-Ball]

Krosigk

[Vasall des Midas]

Bismarck.

[Old Europe]

Kurt von Schleicher

[You kip if you want to...]

Merkel

[Hans-im-Glück]

Kurt von Schleicher

[big bad fab]

Krosigk fell in round 3.

ROUND FOUR IS OPEN

And I vote fo Franz von Papen,

a bad conservative, one of those who paved the way for Hitler.
