In this excerpt from "1924: The Year That Made Hitler," author Peter Ross Range explains how November 9, 1923, was the date that launched one of the world's most brutal dictators.
"The national revolution has begun! The building is surrounded by six hundred heavily armed men! No one is allowed to leave."
Behind Hitler, a platoon of
steel-helmeted men under the command of Captain Hermann Göring dragged a
heavy machine gun into the beer hall entrance.
Thus began Adolf Hitler’s infamous beer hall coup d’état of 1923.
