Heinz Buckliger (b. 1959) was the fourth Führer of the Greater German Reich, and the youngest ever selected. A Breslau native, he was serving as the Minister of Heavy Industry in 2010, when he was chosen to succeed the late Kurt Haldweim. Buckliger was reform-minded, using the various contradictory notions intrinsic to Nazism to criticize the system and its history while at the same time praising the Reich's founding fathers. His first act upon his rise was to give a speech to prominent Party leaders at Nuremberg. While the text was kept from the German people, rumors quickly circulated that Buckliger had denounced certain of the Reich's past actions as criminal.
