I was wondering if the historians here knew enough to comment on the historical accuracies and inaccuracies of the German series Babylon Berlin, which is set in the late 1920s during the Weimar Republic. It’d be nice to know about groups like the Red Fortress & the Black Reichswehr, characters such as Ernst Gennat & Hans Litten, & the accuracy of the political factions shown, such as the KPD (Communists), the SPD (Social Democrats), those with conservative monarchist sympathies, & the NSDAP (the Nazis).
I think this would be a fun topic to discuss for a great series!
Hi there! Your question doesn't break any rules, and we're happy to let it stand. However, be warned that questions that boil down to "fact check X for me" rarely get satisfactory answers. Critiquing an entire television series is a lot of work, and people are rarely willing to watch something just so that they can respond to a question on Reddit. It is often more effective to ask more precise questions that can be answered directly - you are welcome to make more than one post if you need to.
