Spoilers From The Book 'Fuherreich'
I've never read the book, so do I have to worry about spoilers (plot twists, character deaths, etc.)?

The book itself does not exist. This mod is based on a book that was mentioned in an event in the alternate history mod kaiserriech. Kaiserreich is a mod about germany winning the first world war. Fuherreich is how people from the kaiserrreich universe would interpret a reality where germany lost world war 1.

It was a joke, mang. I know this mod is supposed to be from the perspective of those living in the Kaiserreich timeline and I was just going with the flow, for fun.
I don't know what you guys are going on about but I had to read the book when I was studying German literature abroad in the Hamburg University in the German Empire. In Fuherreich Remark Focuses Waldemar Peiper, A veteran of the first Weltkrieg who in late 1918 was appointed Panzer Kommandant of the lead K-Wagen of Abteilung IX, and his unit formally surrendered with the rest of the German army in 1919 after the treaty of Versailles. Waldemar Returns to his homeregion Silesia, which suffered a massive famine due to the Anglo-American Naval blockade, to his wife and his son Joachim who is around 3 when he returns. Then theres some drama with Waldemar really struggling with the collapse of Germany. A bit later as the situation in Silesia starts to stabilize, Waldemar finds out that the Entante powers created this Western Slavic state as part of the treaty of Versailles known as Zapadoslavia, which in my opinion is heavily infulenced by the Serbian ultranationalistic claims for a "Yugoslav state". as they are getting kicked out their son Joachim really takes it the worst crying "Papa stop the Slavs from stealing our home!" but obviously Waldemer can't do anything about it. They eventually move into Berlin where Waldemar becomes a laborer in an automotive factory. Theres alot of fluff in the middle that I don't really remember to much but near the end its 1933 and this man named Adam Dressler takes power in Germany after a coup. Dressler is the leader of Valkist party, an Ultranationalistic Germanic party, and its main platform is revanchist reteroic and Waldemar sees how his son Joachim is enfatuated by the Valkists, showing his dad the new party card that he got after signing up after a particularly fiery speech. then the last bit of the book is Waldemar being horrified by how his son has become a fanatical member of the party along with joining the parties militerized branch which is abbrivated TST, and spouting anti-slavic retoric. the end of Furherreich is Joachim, in full military attire, explaining to his father that he is part of the 1st TST Panzer Regiment, "Leibstandarte" and also a Panzer Kommandant. His last words to a heartbroken Waldemar is "Don't worry Papa I will reclaim our homeland from the subhuman Slavic invaders and is service to our family and the Reich." It's an amazing novel to me and i really do think you should read it if you have the time.

@General Corrosive Thanks for the explaination, mang! I'll definitely give it a read when I have the time. Currently I am reading 'The Union in Forty Years' by Eric Blair, and yeah. The concept of Syndicalism ruling the world is quite silly, but I still find it quite interesting, actually. Once I finish that book, I'll be looking for an English-translated copy of Fuhrerreich right away. :)

I wouldn't give the book a read. It takes alternate history and goes wayyyy too far with it, sacrificing much in the sense of realism. The Entente could not have won the war under any circumstances, and so the plot seems a bit of a stretch. Trenches can only do so well against Prussian discipline after all!
