  • Hitler decided that he would never come to power by revolution; he realised that he would have to use constitutional means
24
Q

Hitler decided that he would never come to power by revolution; he realised that he would have to use constitutional means, so he organised:

  • propaganda campaigns
  • mergers with other right-wing parties
  • local branches of the party, which tried to get Nazis elected to the Reichstag
  • the SS as his personal bodyguard, which was set up in 1925 It was this strategy of gaining power legitimately that eventually brought him to power.
25
Q

What was the Munich Putsch?

A

-At first, the Nazis were just a terrorist group. Hitler assembled a large group of unemployed young men and former soldiers, known as the storm troopers (the SA), which attacked other political groups. Hitler hoped to take power by starting a revolution.
-During the crisis of 1923, therefore, Hitler plotted with two nationalist politicians - Kahr and Lossow - to take over Munich in a revolution.
Hitler is angered as Kahr and Lossow call off the rebellion
-Hitler collected his storm troopers and told them to be ready to rebel.
-But then, on 4 October 1923, Kahr and Lossow called off the rebellion. This was an impossible situation for Hitler, who had 3,000 troops ready to fight.
Hitler waved a gun at Khar and Lossow
-On the night of 8 November 1923, Hitler and 600 storm troopers burst into a meeting that Kahr and Lossow were holding at the local Beer Hall. Waving a gun at them, Hitler forced them to agree to rebel - and then let them go home. The SA took over the army headquarters and the offices of the local newspaper.
16 Nazis were killed in the scuffle
-The next day, 9 November 1923, Hitler and his Nazis went into Munich on what they thought would be a triumphal march to take power.
-However, Kahr had called in police and army reinforcements. There was a short scuffle in which the police killed 16 Nazis.
-Hitler fled, but was arrested two days later.
