Hitler spent less than 2 years in prison after his putsch. During that time, he did write Mein Kampf and
considered his situation. Though he'd been found guilty at his trial, Hitler's refusal to apologies for his attempt
to overthrow the government earned him great admiration. While the political and military figures who had
participated tried to pretend they weren't aware of the reasons of the meetings and march that day Hitler
made it clear that he knew exactly what he was doing, and that he was doing for Germany. Hitler now had
access to higher society, and businessmen, who approached him. He realized that he did not have to imitate
Mussolini in order to gain what he wished. He started a two prong campaign. In the streets, his SA continued
to battle the communists in the streets for the hearts of Germans. Meanwhile, in political halls, meeting rooms,
and social gatherings, Hitler moved to gain himself a wider base of support. He had something to offer each
group.
