TNGF
SELECTED
Adolf Hitler
primary
A man in his early forties with a slender build, standing at approximately 5'8" (173 cm). His dark hair is slicked back, and he sports his iconic short, square mustache. His pale blue eyes are intense and piercing, with a focused gaze that conveys both determination and a sense of superiority. His facial features are sharp, with a prominent nose and a thin-lipped mouth.
Paul von Hindenburg
primary
A towering, broad-shouldered man of 85 years with a stiff military bearing, his face deeply lined with age and responsibility. His thick mustache is neatly trimmed in the Prussian style, and his pale blue eyes are sharp despite his advanced years. His hands are large and gnarled, resting heavily on the desk before him.
Franz von Papen
secondary
A middle-aged man in his mid-50s with aristocratic bearing, thinning gray hair combed straight back, a neatly trimmed mustache, and sharp aristocratic features. His posture is upright, reflecting his military background, though his frame has softened with age. His piercing blue eyes survey the room with calculated calm.
Military Aide
background
A distinguished-looking man in his late 50s with a square jaw, close-cropped gray hair, and stern features. His posture is ramrod straight, betraying his military training, but there's a subtle tension in his shoulders. He has piercing blue eyes that dart occasionally between Hindenburg and Hitler.
Nazi Official
background
A high-ranking Nazi party member in his late 40s, with a lean but sturdy build, sharp facial features, and closely cropped dark hair graying at the temples. His pale blue eyes gleam with a mix of fanaticism and calculated ambition. A thin, tightly controlled smile plays on his lips.

Dialog

Paul von Hindenburg Herr Hitler, I trust you understand the gravity of this office. The German people look to their leaders for stability in these troubled times.
Adolf Hitler Herr President, I accept this duty with the solemn vow to restore Germany's honor and prosperity. The will of the Volk shall guide my every action.
Franz von Papen The cabinet arrangements are all in order, Herr President. A most... conventional government structure, as we discussed.
Paul von Hindenburg Conventional... Yes. Most irregular circumstances require irregular solutions, it seems.
Adolf Hitler History shall remember this day, Herr President. Not as irregularity, but as Germany's rebirth.
