Munich Putsch of 1923
By 1923 Hitler felt strong enough to seize power in Germany.
Believed people would welcome his brand of strong leadership
On the 8th November Gustav Kahr (Bavarian PM) was holding a meeting in a Munich Beer hall.
Hitler arrived with around 600 supporters
Forced Kahr at gunpoint, to support his takeover and March on Berlin the Next day
3000 Nazis marched into the centre of Munich.
It soon became clear that Kahr would not support Hitler
Was a mistake on Hitlers part by letting Kahr go after he had made his promise of support
100 policemen were blocking the route of the Nazis in a street.
Hitler pushed to the ground after shots were fired
Hitlers shoulder was dislocated
Eye witness claims Hitler lost his nerve fled to an awaiting car.
Ludendorff continued on to the next square where he was arrested- Hitler arrested two days late.
Putsch ended in failure.
Along with other leading Nazis Hitler was put on trial in February 1924
Hyperinflation
The German economy had ground to a halt, Government had no resources to buy goods in from abroad.
Make up for this shortfall the Government simply started to print money.
In 1923 they had 300 paper mills and 200 print shops simply printing money.
This however, led to hyperinflation people realised that the money was worthless and so demanded higher prices.
That soon led to massive increases in prices.
Money became so worthless that children were given bundles of banknote to play with
Or people used it as fuel as it was cheaper to burn this than use it to buy coal or wood
The Reichstag Fire 27th February 1933

They were able to use this to target the communists, who were their biggest threat in the upcoming elections
Hitler accused the communists of plotting against Germany
400 communists were arrested on the night of the fire
The next day and emergency decree was passed which allowed the police to search houses, confiscate property and detain people without a trail.
These powers were used to target the Communists
