Nationalist Putsch in Danzig Thwarted
As the old Marshal in Warsaw died and Germany became occupied by the fallout of the Red Week, the SPFHD was suddenly isolated against its traditional foes on the far-right. Many politicians - both outside and within the city - had long suspected these movements were funded by Prussia, but despite their jarring rhetoric, there was no legal pretext to crack down on them. After the DSP's surprising victory in the elections of 1937, their forces in the city marched on the Volkstag to attempt a coup against the Social Democrats and, ostensibly, invite Prussian soldiers in. It appears that their haste to act led to a disorganized effort that was quickly scattered by the head of the Polish Garrison in Danzig - Gustaw Orlicz-Dreszer. Orlicz-Dreszer, hailed as the new hero of the city, has established a provisional government to stabilize the situation in the aftermath. ID: news.276 'Hopefully an end to their problems...'

Hanseatic Socialists Reelected in Danzig
Despite the SPFHD's domination in the Volkstag, many MPs of the party have questioned the current course. The sizable bloc of trade unionists are the most notable to voice concerns, wishing to have more say in how the government operates in furtherance of Chairman Julius Gehl's past agreements between the SPFHD and the city's labor organizations. Regardless, the not-so-new government of Danzig has announced no plans for changing their economic policy, as this so-called Hanseatic Socialism has brought prosperity to the city and made it a shining Kautskyite success. Yet questions still linger, those of political liberalization, winning over wayward workers, and managing the Prussian-backed dissidents--although the Pact nods, the political course of the city government is still far from settled.

Teutonic Victory in Danzig
The elections of 1937 looked promising for the incumbent Social Democratic Party, but in the wake of domestic disruptions in Poland and Germany, the city's right has been able to act from a position of strength - and legally to boot. Danzig's patrons are faced with a fait accompli: the new German Social Party government of Arthur Greiser has affirmed the city's loyalty to its neighbors, but he has indicated that the victory of DSP shows the Germans of the city are looking to their past for a new future, a sentiment that has caused some distress in the Polish Garrison. Greiser's ascension to Senatspräsident was followed by DSP paramilitaries joining ranks with the police to put down riots and brawls. Already, the main trade unionists have announced their firm opposition to the DSP, and many fear that despite assurances of loyalty to the Warsaw Pact, Danzig will be in Prussian hands soon.

Poles, Pirates, and Poets
It appears this was a miscalculation. At gunpoint, Gehl was forced to step down with the Vindi-varii group led by Jan Kasprowicz elevated in his stead; following this, Danzig's senate was abolished and the government remodeled into a Sanacja-like structure with two chambers--a lower house for labor organizations, and a higher one for the military and "Übermenschen." Amidst the cacophony, many in Germany were quick to denounce the situation as a "Polish Carnaro", although the Danziger government has not officially turned against the socialist republic. Fittingly, a surge of piracy in the Baltic Sea has been reported by the navies of the Birkeneid, but for now, it seems as though the Warsaw Pact will simply be keeping an eye on this D'Annunzian emulation.

Danzig Turns to Poland
It appears that Orlicz-Dreszer had different ideas. The General, concerned with the safety of the pact between Poland and Germany in the present circumstances, announced that while elections would be carried out, the head of the Polish Garrison and the President of the Senate shall continue to be one and the same. Amidst protests from both the SPFHD and Berlin, Orlicz-Dreszer was quick to affirm that the party would co-rule with him, accepting their candidates into the Senate and allowing German ships to continue to arrive at the port. Despite this, it seems as though the Polish Garrison will take a more direct role in the supervision of the arrangement that founded the city, modeling their rule over the Sanacja regime in mainland Poland. After all, as the General holds all the cards, nobody can make him fold. ID: news.280 'Should we use "Danzig" or "Gdańsk"?'

Volkish Putsch in Danzig
Hermann Rauschning was the architect behind the normalization of Warsaw Pact relations with the city in the aftermath of the election, seeking to prevent Germany and Poland from overthrowing the new government. However, his efforts were soon hijacked by the Volkist "Lichtmenschen" faction of Wilhelm Kube, rumored to be the main channel between Prussia and the DSP. Already, Kube has called for the desacralization of the "Great Synagogue of Danzig" and the Germanification of Christianity to free it from "Jewish influences." As a sop to diplomacy, Greiser and Kube have been convinced to maintain certain socialist elements in the national economy. Rauschning attempted to rally the bourgeois and clergy against this, but it appears the party has largely rejected his medieval fantasy, as the government in Prussia can barely hold back a grin watching their little cousin take a step towards turning back the German Revolution.

Knightly Putsch in Danzig
Hermann Rauschning was the architect behind the normalization of Warsaw Pact relations with the city in the aftermath of the election, seeking to prevent Germany and Poland from overthrowing the new government. Transforming his public profile into political influence, Rauschning took to the balconies, calling for a Teutonic-style Christian nationalist regime as a retreat from socialism. In opposition, the traditional Volkist faction under Wilhelm Kube retaliated, gambling on Greiser's sympathy for their cause to grant them victory. It seems that Rauschning was more successful in his efforts to gain the attention of Greiser, as the DSP has put away the oak in favor of the sword, and although the DSP continues to offer tepid assurances of loyalty to the Pact, the Prussian government looks on with glee at their growing influence in Danzig.

A Hanseatic Democracy
The liberal wing of the SPFHD, heralding a thaw of the political system of the city, often judged that neither a dictatorship of the senate nor of the unions would allow the city to prosper. It seems as now, Chairman Julius Gehl agrees, as the city's economic policies have been relaxed to allow the formation of small-scale private enterprises. Future elections are anticipated to be less controlled in the future, with some anticipating the SPFHD cooperating with the CSABFHD and DDP to create a democratic system that will still freeze out the Prussophile right. Efforts to create a common Hanseatic identity have been announced, starting cooperation with Kashubians, Jews, and Poles. All in all, the Free City has put herself on a path unlike any other: the path of the Hansae. ID: news.283 'Demokratismus, Hanzetismus und Sozialismus!'

A Hanseatic Dictatorship
With growing distrust of the governing SPFHD, a series of strikes began throughout the city. The most prominent manifestation of opposition to Chairman Gehl's centralization of power happened in front of Fort Neufähr, where a new prison had been established. The demonstration, which started from Langfuhr, lasted an hour before collapsing in front of a police response, with reports of mass arrests and disappearances of activists. Julius Gehl, with the help of Anton Plenikowski, has called for a ban on many right-wing organizations in the city, including the Prussophile DSP, the liberal DDP, and even some dissident trade unions. While various outlets in Germany both praise and decry this turn, with the recent crackdown on press and publishing, it seems unlikely their voices will reach the Danzigers at all.

A New Kind of Hanseatic Socialism
Further negotiations between the government and trade unions of Danzig have occurred in the Langer Markt. On this sunny day, it was declared that Hanseatic Socialism will be based on the power of the councils, and while it was a given that Chairman Gehl would resist a purely syndical system, he acknowledged that the all-powerful Senate should take more of a regulatory position than a governmental one. The lower chamber is to be transformed into a house of councils, while trade unions are to have more say in how workplaces in the cities operate. As hisses and cheers ring out across the Warsaw Pact, both opponents and proponents alike are united in thanks that no blood was spilt over matters of party politics.

Fall of the Free City
While some of the city's rightists, including Arthur Greiser, have welcomed the Prussians with open arms and expressed their will to fight alongside the fatherland, the Polish garrison in the city under General Gustaw Orlicz-Dreszer remains, holed up despite the Prussian advances. After a running battle in the streets, the garrison retreated to Westerplatte, where radio broadcasts tell the invaders "Westerplatte is still defending itself." In the other parts of the city, mass arrests of SPFHD politicians are underway. Some reports say that a cell of unionists and socialists still engages in partisan warfare as confused traders and tourists have either joined the fight or escaped before the onrushing invasion. It appears as though the Hanseatic Experiment has been put to a bloody end. ID: news.286 'The bastard of the Warsaw Pact has drowned.'
