The Imperial German Navy appears in modern Germany

What if the Imperial German Navy of 1919 appeared today?

The ships become museums, but modern Germany faces a major challenge integrating a large population formed by imperial-era politics and society.

The ships would become museums, while modern Germany would face the difficult task of integrating their crews. The sailors' political outlook would not be uniform. Imperial and authoritarian loyalties existed alongside the revolutionary politics associated with the naval upheavals at the end of the First World War. Their arrival could strengthen several political factions, so treating the whole fleet as a single conservative bloc would be misleading. The broader problem is the difference between German society in 1919 and the society into which the crews would arrive.
