Thälmann didn't win a single state?

No, his scores in both 1925 and 1932 were both below 10% IIRC, which by far means, unless there's some favorite-son factor (think de Villiers 1995 and Royer 1974), he stands no chance at winning any state/division.

Interesting. I always thought of him as being a major candidate. I'm guessing he won a plurality in Berlin, though.

Not very well at the moment so I'm making maps.



Anyways, the USPD was the left-wing minority faction that emerged out of the split in the SPD in 1915/1916. The party was only significant in two elections; 1919 and 1920. Can't show 1919 right now for one or two reasons. The party split at the end of 1920 with the majority faction (in terms of members but not in terms of deputies) becoming part of the KPD and the minority faction ('' '') eventually, returning to the SPD. A tiny minority didn't join either party but were never electorally significant.

IIRC, the "U" stands for Unabhängige, which is a weird word.

These results clearly aren't by Land. What are they by?

What's so weird about "unabhängig"? Just a loan translation from the latin "independent". German does those (loan translations from latin) a lot.

It sounds funny. That's all.

Oh but they are. Except in Prussia where they are by province.

Ah. I was wondering where Prussia was.

Bump.
