OTL
The model for Flora Hamburger was originally Rosa Luxemburg (March 5, 1870 or 1871 – January 15, 1919), a German spartakist executed by Freikorps after a 1919 uprising. Once it became clear that the United States would win the Great War, thus disrupting the parallel sitution, Hamburger's characer began developing in a different, independent direction.
