"TOMORROW THE WORLD.."
![]() The VOEKISCHER BEOBACHTERIn Bavaria and that region Germany, the extreme right wing through such as the National Socialists had succeeded greatly in amassing support and promoting fascist ideals. A newspaper which advocated such ideals was The VOEKISCHER BEOBACHTER, an oracle of the Nazis. The Weimar republic leadership was far from happy with the growing far-right anti-republic sentiment and soughtFACTS ON THE TAKEOVERHitler and the Nazis of Bavaria, decided to push the issue of a march on Berlin to take control (the reason for Weimar emergency censures) at a Beer-hall in Bavaria where a government meeting honoring Kahr, with Lossow and Seisser, the Chief of Police in attendance: the trio represented the Bavarian government, Military and Police, and Hitler knew they would be essential and powerful allies in any attempt to topple the Weimar Republic. The Nazi Party decided to declare their stand by a 'coup' beginning at the Beerhall where the Government officials had come to meet. They were very clear regarding their motive: they meant to overthrow the weak Republic and replace it with a "New Germany" which fit their ideals. Violence was never out of the question. As the meeting began and the first speakers were called, the Nazi "Brownshirts"1 burst into the Beerhall and Adolf Hitler burst into the center, jumping on tables and taking the podium. The Nazis heralded Kahr, Lossow and Seisser into a side room urging and demanding them to join them in their endeavor. They refused, until they were pressured by General Ludendorff. At that point, they succumbed to Hitler's demands and walked back into the assembly. The pressure for surrender was great, as the SA, had surrounded the building. "The National Revolution has Begun"Hitler announced "The National Revolution has begun" and jumped on a table and began to speak. Once the Bavarian officials had surrendered, he promised he would let them go, which he did. Roehm took over the local military but the National Socialists found our very quickly that they did not have the support they thought. Nevertheless, they gathered and continued the march on Munich, which would end in violence. Hitler was jailed for his role and imprisoned in Landsberg Am Lech, Fortress Prison for attempted coup against Weimar Government. Rosenberg took over party control while Hitler was in Prison. The Nazi Manifesto
which would provide a constitution and doctrine for genocide, "Mein Kampf" was
written while Hitler was a prisoner. The Beer hall Putsch failed in toppling
the Weimar, and Hitler was banned for a few years from public speaking,
but by 1930 the Weimar would fold and an emergency government would rule
Germany until '33. It took only 10 years from the time Adolf Hitler was
jailed for violence and sedition to his appointment as president and chancellor
of Germany.
