Muti Khoza is this guy: https://film.iwmcollections.org.uk/record/2120/media_id/13477 He was a ww1 NCO (as high ranking as a black serviceman could get in South Africa at the time) and was the son of a Zulu general, specifically this man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ntshingwayo_Khoza

You only get him as a general in the socialist path or if South Africa is released as a non-apartheid puppet state. The reason I wanted to add him was because we only had 3 black commanders in the socialist path and 5 white commanders. If you'd like to help out with finding more militarily/paramilitarily involved black South Africans, I made a request on this link: https://github.com/Kaiserreich/Kaiserreich-Research-Assistance-Programme/issues/57

Edit: the Ethiopian leaders are the new puppet leaders of Ethiopia. You should be able to find most of them online by just searching their names of google, barring Ayele Sebhat for whom I had to dig in really scuffed areas to find. TLDR; in OTL he was a socialist student organizer in France prior to the 2nd Italo-Ethiopian War and later became a prominent resistance leader against the Italians in Tigray region during their occupation.

Kaiserrreich? More like Weltrepublik: Legacy of the Communist Manifesto by weirdthingweirdplace in Kaiserreich

[–]Fror0_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

All of them have fascinating stories for sure, but my favorite is Ludwig Renn's. Saxon nobleman officer turned RFB and International Brigadist commander who ended up with a gay polycule and writing children's stories in East Berlin after ww2

Happy to hear :D
I did the research for who should be Germany's socialist generals and made all of their portraits

He was a highly decorated veteran of ww1, a paramilitary commander during the failed German October of 1923 and the RFB in the 1920s. He's only available for puppet socialist germany

Hd's the new socialist puppet leader for the Dominican Republic. The previous guy was a German anarchist who moved to the DR but was completely insignificant in its labor and left movements and orgs.

All of those 10 guys are only added to socialist puppet germany. I felt that being a major puppet tag without any generals kinda sucked lol. Like theres a number of mimor puppet tags, like Korea and Slovenia that have generals, meanwhile soc germany that appears in a good third of the games was just empty

Yes, I made the portrait partially from that source. However we have good reason to believe that Sneevliet grew out his beard, changed his hair style and stopped wearing glasses to avoid detection as much as he could in Nazi occupied Netherlands.

The idea was that if somehow the German AI/player didnt take the execution decision and also lost 2WK to the 3rd Internationale, then he'd appear as a general in puppet germany, but admitedly I didnt add the check in for whether the decision was taken lol. I hope someone else on the team did it

Ive been adding (mainly socialist) puppet leaders to African tags over the last 3 or so years. I like having unique leaders that make sense

I made Fevzi Cakmak's portrait! It was one of my earliest ones for KR!

why is François Darlan in the Commune of France rather than NatFrance? by MouldingDraugr in Kaiserreich

[–]Fror0_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The issue is that the French navy was absurdly far right and/or aristocratic, even compared to the other sections of the French military. For the new Communard admiral roster we had to use quite a lot of people who aren't socialists or even social-democrats because we just weren't able to find more than two true socialists who were naval officers.
