    Event History
    In 1923 the leaders of the German Combat Front and the NSDAP, led by General Erich von Ludendorff and Adolf Hitler respectively, attempted to overthrow the government of Bavaria as the first step toward the establishment of a nationalist regime in Germany. On November 8, a meeting was held in the Buergerbraukeller in Munich where, after a speech by Adolf Hitler, the putschists called for a march on Berlin. The next day General Ludendorff led the rebels on a march through Munich to the Feldherrnhalle. There, police broke up the march, killing sixteen people and wounding many more, including Hermann Goering. Adolf Hitler fled the scene but was captured two days later at the home of his comrade, Ernst Hanfstaengel. Prominent pro-Nazi government officials withdrew their support, and the putsch was quickly put down by the German army. Hitler and other captured putschists were tried and convicted of treason. While Hitler was imprisoned in Landsberg, he wrote his political manifesto, Mein Kampf. Upon his release in 1925, Hitler resumed leadership of the Nazi Party.
