‘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.
