NOVEMBER, 1923
                          ‘THE BEER HALL PUTSCH’ / HITLER ATTEMPTS A
                                   COUP IN BAVARIAN CITY OF MUNICH




               Righteous anger is boiling over the hyperinflation and the new French-Belgian
               occupation. Hitler decides that the time is right to seize power from the local
               government in Munich. Hoping that war veterans will join the revolt and move
               against the national government in Berlin, Hitler uses a rally in a Munich ‘Beer
               Hall’ to launch a coup.




               The local uprising, or “putsch”, is ignited by Hitler’s moving speech, but fails to
               sustain  itself  as  troops  open  fire  on  the  nationalist  rebels,  killing  16  of  them.
               Hitler and others are arrested and tried for treason. At his trial, Hitler uses the
               occasion to spread his ideas, which are then published in the newspapers. The
               judge  is  impressed,  and  issues  a  lenient  sentence  for  the  rebels.  Though  the

               Munich  coup  has  failed,  the  legend  of  the  great  orator  grows,  attracting  new
               followers by the day. Membership in Hitler’s NSDAP tops 20,000 by year's end.


























                   A crowd turned out to support Hitler. Hitler and Ludendorff were arrested.
