The Munich Putsch and the Nazis 25-Point Program

1. Hitler needed a place for him and the Nazi army to have a main standpoint place, so because Berlin was the capital of Germany and he was looking for power, that is where he chose. Because the right-wing had decided not to march into Berlin, Hitler figured he would have to force the help from the right-wing leaders. To do so, during a meeting at the Munich beer hall led by Kahr and Lossow, Hitler walked in and took the two leaders outside. Threatening them at gunpoint, the two were forced into marching into Berlin with Hitler and helping him attack the city. Thinking ahead, Lossow and Kahr sent a warning to Ebert so he would know the march was going to happen. Once there, Hitler's men were unable to successfully attack them and the three leaders, along with Lundendorff, were arrested. Hitler used his trial to his advantage by taking the time to verbally attack the Weimar Republic. In doing so, his words were used in newspapers and were heard around town, and Hitler was able to use this as propaganda to gain followers for the Nazis. 2. The main idea of the NSDAP was to gain land for Germany, destroy the Treaty of Versailles, create a single-race state so only one race could have citizenship and only citizens could live in the country, keep Jews out of the country at all costs, improve the industry and the land, exterminate the criminals from the state, create a new educational system, outlaw child labor, create a national army, and create a way that the state will give to the people and the people will give to the state.
