The Beer Hall Putsch (Munich Putsch) and Mein Kampf
Beginnings of Hitler
1923 Munich/Beer Hall Putsch- (meeting area/cheapest way to have a gathering and a pint of beer.)
An attempt to overthrow the government after protesting the French occupation of the Ruhr
Hitler was one of the main speakers, fired up a drunken crowd
Supposed to be like Mussolini’s March on Rome
It fails (only 500 people showed up)
Both Hitler and Gen Ludendorff arrested and sent to Landsberg Prison (more like a palace, low security) for a year and a half.

He outlines the future of Nazism in this including:
Lebensraum
Anti- Semitism
Anti- communist (get rid of political enemy)
Need to re-arm and get rid of Versailles
The rise of the Aryan Race
