Their deaths easily left a power vacuum that was filled by soviet leaning german communists, most especially after 1922 when the civil war ended and the soviets emerged victorious. While some of the prominent german communists that werent russian soviets... were dead.
The Nazis had formed by 1920 and the S.A. formed from some Freikorps by 1921. It isn't like there was an expansive amount of time there.
Yet the period of the United Front between the KPD and SPD lasted from '23 to '28. The idea that it was an organic change because of deep-seated grudges is extremely questionable even just by the timeline, much less the details of the interactions of the 20s and early 30s.
Ebert was in power until 1925 and Stalin came to power in 1924. A 1923-1928 timeline is a little odd.
