Why didn't Hitler just crown himself Kaiser?

because he was a drug addled poofter manlet

Why would he demote himself like that?
he was more a clerk than a kaiser, also his military rank was plebeian
>>3107271
No clue, but I know he tried to paint the Germans as victors over the Romans and their descendents. So labeling himself with a Roman title doesn't seem very consistent.

monarchy was abolished faggot

For one there was sitll an aristocracy which would not have accepted it.
Second Nazism has its routes in a blue collar political movement and the title would have alienated his base

He was already the Queen
>>3107271
Because the last kaiser was an bumbling idiot and Hitler always tried to appeal to the common man.

His entire movement relied on discrediting German conservatives as weaklings and traitors. The Germany's most prominent Conservative leaders who still opposed Hitler were massacred on the Night of the Long Knives alongside the SA.

If you would read the first 100 pages of Mein Kampf, you could see why. Hitler recognized the power in being "Of the people" as opposed to the aristocracy.
