On this day in 1923, Adolf Hitler attempts a coup in Munich, the "Beer Hall Putsch,". #history
Approximately two thousand Nazis were marching to the Feldherrnhalle, in the city center, when they were confronted by a police cordon, which resulted in the death of 16 Nazis and four police officers.
Hitler, who was wounded during the clash, escaped immediate arrest and was spirited off to safety in the countryside. After two days, he was arrested and charged with treason.
The putsch brought Hitler to the attention of the German nation and generated front page headlines in newspapers around the world. His arrest was followed by a 24-day trial.
Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to five years in Landsberg Prison, where he dictated Mein Kampf to his fellow prisoners Emil Maurice and Rudolf Hess.

On 20 December 1924, having served only nine months, Hitler was released.

When the hours spent on research are totally worth it....
(That's why this stage of the process is SO important to me)
I love photographs taken inside cathedrals/churches during the war. The compositions are usually very powerful, especially when you take the whole context into consideration.

Amelia Earhart was declared dead #OnThisDay in 1939.

She was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.

(The photo is from The Colour of Time tinyurl.com/y9ddsvzj)
Earhart was the daughter of Samuel "Edwin" Stanton Earhart and Amelia "Amy". She was born in Atchison, Kansas, in the home of her maternal grandfather, Alfred Gideon Otis, who was a former federal judge, the president of the Atchison Savings Bank.
According to family custom, Earhart was named after her two grandmothers, Amelia Josephine Harres and Mary Wells Patton. From an early age, Amelia was the ringleader while her sister Grace Muriel Earhart (1899–1998), two years her junior, acted as the dutiful follower.

Germany and the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party, Part 2

A thread:
Among the list of demands from the Treaty of Versailles was that Germany would only be allowed a small army limited to only 15,000 men, 6 cruisers, 6 battleships, 12 torpedo boats and 12 destroyers. The country was also prohibited from exporting or importing war weapons.
Germany was not allowed to use armored vehicles, armored aircraft, poison gas, or blockades on ships. There were also restrictions on manufacturing machine guns and rifles.

Germany also was to give back portions of land that were disputed and had been acquired during the war.

So, Trump’s gone and told @DailyCaller that ‘Antifa’ can expect ‘big trouble’ if they continue mobilizing. Authoritarians love to direct their pet militias at their opposition. Seems about time to talk about the ‘Sturmabteilung’ - the Nazi’s first mobilized force. THREAD /1
The ‘Sturmabteilung’, or ‘Storm Detachment’, also known as the SA, had their origins in the veterans of the First World War who attended the meetings of the Nazi Party, then known as the DAP, in the early 1920s. It was found that they could be very useful ejecting hecklers. /2
Of course, this was a turbulent, violent time in Germany. The revolution that had resulted in the Kaiser’s abdication, and the establishment of the Weimar Republic, was followed by outbreaks of violence between left and right-wing groups across the nation. /3

For those of you who are a bit sketchy on your modern German history, alongside the anniversary of 'Kristallnacht' or 'Reichspogromnacht', it's also the anniversary of the Munich Beer Hall Putsch. Here's something quickly on why that matters... /1
'The Beer Hall Putsch' was an attempt to take control of Bavaria on the 8/9th of November, 1923. Hitler, as leader of the NSDAP, chose a political meeting at a Munich beer hall to interrupt and announce a coup. /2
It's safe to say that the whole thing was a comedy of errors. Hitler, essentially, had to beg some of the politicians he was essentially holding hostage to support his coup attempt. Communication was dire. The plan had not survived first contact with the enemy. /3

Against Normalization: The Lesson of the “Munich Post”

THE TRUMP-HITLER COMPARISON.
Is there any comparison? Between the way the campaigns of Donald #Trump and Adolf #Hitler should have been treated by the #media and the culture? The way the media should act now? The problem of #normalization?
2/
Because I’d written a book called Explaining Hitler several editors had asked me, during the #campaign, to see what could be said on the subject.

Until the morning after the election I had declined them.

The Reichstag Warning ⚠️⚠️⚠️

On February 27, 1933 the German Parliament building burned, Adolf #Hitler rejoiced, and the #Nazi era began.
1/
#Hitler, who had just been named head of a #government that was legally formed after the democratic #elections of the previous November, seized the opportunity to change the system. “There will be no mercy now,” he exulted. “Anyone standing in our way will be cut down.”
2/
The next day, at Hitler’s advice and urging, the #German #president issued a decree “for the protection of the people and the state.”

On the 9th of November, 1923, Adolf Hitler & members of the NSDAP attempted to seize power in Munich, Bavaria, in a coup. It was a failure, Hitler was injured (& some killed) & he was arrested. This is not that story. This is - *more importantly* - about happened next. THREAD 1/
Hitler, his co-conspirators and the Sturmabteilung (SA) had attempted to usurp the Bavarian state government. Thus, they had been charged with 'high treason'. A trial was scheduled for early 1924, in Munich's 'People's Court'. /2
It seems obvious to say, but neither Hitler, or the NSDAP were what they would later become. The NSDAP was unfocused, still find its feet in some areas. Hitler was a more emotional creature, with more of a scattergun approach to his speaking & rhetoric. /3
