My thoughts on the Munich putsch
i think the Munich putsch was a very bad idea for Hitler and his troops but it helped him more than anything. it showed Hitler he had to take more control of the situation and that he cant do anything by fighting the government he had to talk to all of the people in Germany to listen to him and go the democratic way and get voted into the government. this would get the people to back him and his efforts to change the government and what he was going to do. the Munich Putsch also helped him by getting his name out there and showing he was a nationalist and that he wanted to change the government. the people were noticing him and this was very good for the Nazi party. If Ludendorff wasn’t with him helping him in this then he could have been potentially killed. it was a bad idea by Hitler but helped him and the nazi party and he could learn from his mistakes.
what were the main ideas of the NSDAP when Hitler joined it?
that Germans could only have German blood or they were thrown out and couldn’t live in Germany...such as Jewish people
demand all citizens have equal rights and obligations
if the non German citizens make the population to great then the non citizens get kicked out.
a strong central power in the Reich

Why did Hitler's putsch fail?
16. Read source 2.31 on page 54. What, according to Bullock, were the main reasons for the failure of the putsch?
the main reasons were that nothing had been properly planned, Hitler was speechless and couldn’t control what was going on and all sorts of emotions. his moods were anger despair
apathy, renewed hope, hesitation, this lead to him not getting the crowd on his side. Also
Hitler had no control and Ludendorff took over command.
Read sources 2.32 - 2.34
17. Why did Hitler consider the Nazis not ready for power?
-they were trying to fight the government and the people and now they are going to try and get
voted in
-co-operation with general ludenforff would have been absolutely impossible
-it would have been to diffucult in the year 1923 and it was prepeared well enough
18. In what ways did the failure help the Nazis?
- hitlers name is now going to be know to all of europe and his fervour of his nationalism
-they learned they didnt have to use fire power but they had to get the majority of the people to go with them and then they will be in.
19. Does Source 2.33 show that after the Munich Putsch the Nazis became a democratic party, and accepted the Weimar constitution?
yes it does show they became a demcratic party because they are willing to wait and be voted in by the people and everything will fall into place for them instead of trying to fight or take over
the government.
20. Was the Munich Putsch a complete failure?
no it wasnt because now Hitler is learning from his mistakes and now everyone knows his name and about the nazi party.
Volume one chapter 6
it talks about how propaganda is so important. Hitler says it must be created in order for everyone to think it’s the truth. He says you need this process. It needs to be something that is not know to a lot of people because if they know about it, the thing you are saying is going to be hard for them to believe. Later Hitler states that the process of propaganda lies within the emotions of masses. Hitler seemed to always know or find out what the people or masses wanted to hear and he would tell them this. This makes him succeed when he starts propaganda. When Germany was in crises and needed a demagogue he knew what to say and step in. according to Hitler propaganda should only be powerful and have only important facts.
Volume one, chapter 10:
The reason there is an economic collapse is because of the war and its because of the other country’s involved in the treaty of Versailles. This is what Hitler believes or says. Another reason is because of Jewish bankers, Jewish business men and just all Jewish people. Hitler believes that everyone who has only German blood should be equal.in this chapter Hitler states that he hates Marxism and shouldn’t think is needs to be around.
Volume one, chapter 11:
Hitler believed that there were different states of racial breedes. He really thought only Germans should bread with Germans and no Jews. He wanted the German blood to be pure and clean. He feels the racial problems lie only with the Jews. A reason for explaining why Hitler felt this way is because he had trust issues. He thought if you weren’t all German you weren’t completely happy. Since he knew he could be part Jewish this could really explain why he might be unhappy and act the way he does.
