Would the Freikorps become a major problem if Germany were broken into its pre-unification states?
Short answerThey would remain dangerous, but regional military identities and recruiting areas could fragment them among the successor states.
NotesGerman army formations retained strong regional titles and recruiting ties even within the unified state. Restoring pre-unification political units could therefore split armed networks among smaller administrations, though it would also create a demanding governance and security problem.
