Germany had three actual, rather than de facto, national/federal capitals during the twentieth century: Berlin, Bonn and what other?

No, I am treating Berlin as one entity, so it is not the answer.

Nor is it Frankfurt, even though it was considered, but Bonn was chosen instead.

Correct. A week before the end of the World War II the capital was moved to Flensburg and remained there for three weeks, although only during the week leading up to the German surrender can it really be seen as the capital.

To you to rule on a new question.

Actually Timothy Dalton seems more plausible......he probably needed the work most!
