Hey, speaking of Beer Hall Putsches can we all just take a moment to appreciate how badass (and derpy) this moment in history was?
from Wikipedia:
The audience roared its approval. He [Hitler] finished triumphantly:
“… One last thing I can tell you. Either the German revolution begins tonight and the morrow will find us in Germany a true nationalist government, or it will find us dead by dawn!”
(and later)
Hitler suffered a dislocated shoulder when the man he had locked arms with was shot dragging Hitler down to the pavement with him. Hitler’s bodyguard Ulrich Graf, jumped onto Hitler to shield him and took several bullets, probably saving Hitler’s life. Hitler then crawled along the sidewalk out of the line of fire and was driven away in a waiting car. A bullet killed Scheubner-Richter.[16] Göring was shot in the groin but escaped. The rest of the Nazis scattered or were arrested. Ludendorff, true to his heroic form, walked right through the line of fire to the police and was then arrested.
goddamn I don’t care what your political views are that’s some blockbuster material right there (why hasn’t there been an awesome historical drama made about this yet?!?)
but then there’s the… stupid parts…
At this moment, Ludendorff cried out, “Wir marschieren!” (We will march!). Röhm’s force together with Hitler’s (a total of approximately 2000 men) marched out - but with no specific plan of where to go.
yeah it probably would’ve been good to plan ahead on that one guys

I wanna go back in time,…
(don’t mind me, just continuing this on my personal blog because I don’t wanna clutter up fyeahGoebbels…)
Yeah, dem crazy Germans amirite. I was in Munich a couple summers ago, and a tour guide (lol I’m such a tourist) told me that it’s actually illegal to give the Hitler salute in front of the Feldherrnhalle (where the Beer Hall Putsch shooting happened), which is pretty funny considering that during the Third Reich there were SS guards making sure that everyone who passed did salute. Not to mention all the movie poster censorship and stuff. But the NSDAP itself was outlawed multiple times during the Weimar Republic, too…

“After six months held by the Nazis in a prisoner of war camp, Major Alexis Casdagli was handed a piece of canvas by a fellow inmate. Pinching red and blue thread from a disintegrating pullover belonging to an elderly Cretan general, Casdagli passed the long hours in captivity by painstakingly creating a sampler in cross-stitch. Around decorative swastikas and a banal inscription saying he completed his work in December 1941, the British officer stitched a border of irregular dots and dashes. Over the next four years his work was displayed at the four camps in Germany where he was imprisoned, and his Nazi captors never once deciphered the messages threaded in Morse code: ‘God Save the King’ and ‘Fuck Hitler’.”
This is…amazing.
