    The one issue that plagued the Weimar Republic from the beginning was that they didn't start from the ground up but rather as a continuation of the previous monarchical government. So many judges and police officers retained their positions, and they were very far-right and secretly undermined public state policies. This clearly played in favor of people like Hitler, who enjoyed free reins. Everything was just a slap on the wrist to give the impression of seriousness, but they secretly applauded them for trying.

    Anyone who wants a good background to this story could do a lot worse than to read Mark Jones' book _'1923'._ I was released this year and is an easy read that puts a lot of international perspective on this. The invasion of the Ruhr by the French and Belgians is a critical factor in all of this, from the resentment of invading troops by the Germans, especially the nationalists who blamed the republic, to the violence it spawned and the economic chaos it caused.
    Knowing about this is essential to understanding the Nazis and why they became so prominent.

    Well made video, however one detail that is iffy: It is mostly assumed in the research literature that the killing of von Kahr in 1934 did not take place at the order of Hitler, but without his knowledge and against his will as an autonomous act committed by lower ranking elements of the NSDAP in Munich. At least there are a number of witness reports that Hitler was quite incensed and disgruntled when he got the news that Kahr had been shot, 'cause he felt that the killing of a powerless septogenerian retiree, seemingly as an act of petty revenge at his instigation, made him look vindictive and pathetic in the eyes of the world. Therefore the researches on the matter mostly assume nowadays that people in Munich had Kahr arrested on their own bat, without Hitler being involved in the decision, on June 30 1934 and that either the commandant of Dachau Concentration Camp acting on his own authority had Kahr shot in the bunker of Camp (where he was killed) or the guard who shot him (Johann Kantschuster), decided to kill him on his own accord, acting out of the general hatred that was inculcated into the rank and file of the SS for the "traitor" of 1923 by the propaganda. Or some high-ranking Munich official like Emil Maurice, Christian Weber or Adolf Wagner instructed the SS to arrest and dispatch of Kahr using the favorable opportunity of the events of the day. Hitler on his part is generally assumed ot have been mostly focussed on the SA and the conspirators around Papen during that day and not have been interest in all the minor and powerless people who murdered along the way as a by-product of the the removal of all the remaining rivals to the absolute power he sought to establish for himself through thr purge of the day.

    If you study German society during the Weimar you'll see many of the social upheavals we see today. Trans rights, trans clinics, gay rights, etc. The book burning was predominantly books concerned with those topics. The clinics were run by jews, the books were by jews. (Magnus Hirschfeld being the most prominent)
    There was a reason why Hitler targeted Jews, he saw them as undermining the social fabric of Germany.

      There were numbers discussed at the conference in Genoa. It was one of the triggers for Russia and Germany signing the Treaty of Rapallo. That was one of the more momentous things that happened in the early 1920s. First of all it showed how out-of-touch the British and French were with reality. Second it was one of the things that led to the assassination of the German Foreign Minister, Walther Rathenau.

    This is pretty random and not very accurate. I’ll start with the smallest problem: Hitler’s party membership number. Number 7 is a myth. From memory, it was 6XX or something. Yes, the party was small but not that small.
    That minor point out of the way, there are some background things that need to be settled. The Weimar Republik is mostly thought of as a chaotic time. Except for the hyperinflation period between 1920 and 1922, the Weimar Republik did a much better job of recovering from WWI than most people realise. And this factor was directly linked to the rise, fall and eventual rise again of the Nazis. Hitler’s popularity increased when things were bad - like the hyperinflation period - and waned during periods of prosperity. From the end of hyperinflation to the Wall St Crash in 1929, the Weimar economy did very well. So to characterise it as a state of chaos, as many do, would not be completely accurate.
    Secondly - and this was one of the main things Hitler was able to capitalise on - Bavaria was unique in German politics at the time. It was the only environment where he would or could have succeeded. Following the defeat in WWI, King Ludwig III had fled Bavaria and the power vacuum that followed produced a series of unstable governments and assassinations that resulted in the left wing Bavarian Soviet Republic. This lasted less than a month before it was violently overthrown by the _Freikorps,_ mostly made up of ex-soldiers and right wing loyalists. This was important because Hitler’s anti-Bolshevik rhetoric was centred around public fears of another government that, as they saw it, could fall under the influence of the USSR, itself currently immersed in a civil war that would kill 10 million people.
    So to those who say that Hitler was just a gunshot away from never becoming the Fuehrer, it should be pointed out that the rise of Hitler could not have happened anywhere else but Bavaria and especially Munich. Hitler was able to capitalise on people’s fears and prejudices in such a way that his appeal is much easier to understand. The NSDAP, despite their name, became a force against socialism. Their platform was centred around an anti-socialist, anti-Bolshevik, anti immigration, anti-Semitic stance. And they were, at their core, also anti-democratic. This is why the Beer Hall Putsch happened.
    It’s not enough to just say that things were confused and that there were a lot of different parties and interests involved. We’ve got the ‘how’ but the ‘why’ was missing.

    In the Treaty of Frankfurt (1871), Germany had forced France to pay large reparation sums, and give them Alsace-Lorraine. The terms were severe: France was charged a war indemnity of five Billion francs plus the cost of maintaining a German occupation army in eastern France until the indemnity was paid. The basic idea on the German side was that the French should be "smashed to the ground so they couldn't recover for 100 years" - basically the same attitude the French displayed in 1918/1919 after World War I. The concept of a "punishing peace" gained traction in those days.
    In the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk (1918), Germany imposed terms that were far harsher than the ToV on Russia. (took 89% of their coal mines; 54% of their industry). The treaty marked Russia's final withdrawal from World War I and resulted in Russia losing major territorial holdings. In the treaty, Bolshevik Russia ceded the Baltic States to Germany; they were meant to become German vassal states under German princelings.
    It would be hypocritical to consider the 1919 ToV harsh, as the Germans would be operating on a double standard.

      There are so many ‘ifs’ about Hitler but that is arguably the least important. Hitler could not have risen as he did anywhere else but Munich. The circumstances were such that the unique environment on political instability and judicial connivance meant that it was an environment tailored for him. If any one single detail had changed, it’s possibly we would never have heard of him.
      Yes, it’s true, he could have died in the Putsch. Equally, he could have died in the war. So those things kind of cancel each other out. The point I’m making is that understanding the political climate is essential to understanding the rise of Hitler.
