Marched into Berlin and took it over. President Ebert and the Weimar Government were forced to run away. Kapp declared a new right wing Government.
President Ebert appealed to ordinary
workers to help and they went on strike, refusing to work for Kapp and the Freikorps. The strike was so successful that Kapp had to pull out of Berlin within days. However, none of the leaders of this putsch were punished,
as the judges were sympathetic to right wingers.
