Beer Hall Putsch begins...

Item # 716925 ·

PRESCOTT JOURNAL MINER, Arizona, Nov. 9, 1923  The banner headline above the masthead reports: "GREAT BEER-HALL REVOLT IN MUNICH BECOMES COUPO D'ETAT" with several subheads, including: "Fascist Hitler, Von Kahr Ludendorff Are Leaders of Move to Out Prussia" and: "Hitler Forces Drive to Berlin". Many more related subheads as well.
Known as the "Beer Hall Putsch", Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party led a coalition group in an attempt to overthrow the German government. The plotters hoped to march on Berlin to launch a national revolution. But the insurrection failed miserably. Units of the Munich police force clashed with Nazi stormtroopers as they marched into the city center. The police killed more than a dozen of Hitler’s supporters. 
The judges convicted Hitler on the charge of high treason. However, they gave him the lightest allowable sentence of five years in a minimum security prison at Landsberg am Lech with the possibility of parole. He was released in December 1924. It was while in jail that he wrote his "Mein Kampf".
This was one of the early international press reports on the efforts of Adolf Hitler.
Complete in 6 pages, great condition.
