Munich Beer Hall Putsch During the night of November 8th 1923 Hitler and his storm troopers lead by Hermann Göring broke up a meeting in a Munich Beer Hall at which the Bavarian leaders Kahr, Lossow and Seisser attended. He then ordered these three high officials of the Bavarian government into a back room forced them to promise to support the Putsch against the government at gunpoint saying, "I have four shots in my pistol! Three for you, gentlemen. The last bullet for myself!" but allowed them to leave the meeting freely. Consequently they later changed their minds once free, even though Hitler had prepared his storm troopers to help in a wider Bavarian rebellion, but when the leaders threatened to call off the action, Hitler realised that he could not keep the storm troopers waiting any longer. Hitler still believed that his storm troopers would be assisted by the Bavarian army, planned a triumphal march into Munich on November 9th 1923 to seize power which later resulted in failure. Surprisingly, he had not arranged for the storm troopers to take control of the radio stations and the telegraph offices. This meant that the national government in Munich soon heard about Hitler's putsch and gave orders for it to be crushed. As his storm troopers marched into Munich the Bavarian army were ordered to attack Röhm and his troops and when Hitler, Ludendorff and Göring came to help Röhm with 3000 armed Nazis they found the road barricaded by Munich police at Odensplatz.

Hitler chose his Putsch at a time where Germany's economy was weak with hyperinflation and the popularity of the new Weimar Government was fragile and vulnerable. Even though his Putsch was a failure the consequences increased his support and popularity with the German people elevating his stature from a little known politician into a German hero. His imprisonment also allowed him to rethink his strategy to seize power and gave him the time to write his book 'Mein Kampf' which contained all his ideas for seizing power. In conclusion, Hitler's Putsch made him realise using politics could allow him to gain more and more power which changed him from an extremist to a politician.
