Description:
November 1923
was the height of the hyperinflation crisis in Germany. Hitler believed that the Weimar Government was crumbling and that
people would support a party like his taking over. Hitler also believed he had the support of local council in
Bavaria. Finally, Hitler thought he had the support of the army. An important ex-General, Ludendorff, supported Hitler’s plans. It was thought that the army would support the Putsch if Ludendorff was involved
The plan
• Hitler would go to the Beer Hall where Gustav Kahr
(Bavarian minister) was giving a speech.
• The SA would control the crowd while Hitler took Kahr and
the other ministers.
