Western Civilization II / Unit 16 WC2 1513 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The NSDAP, the SA, the Beer Hall Putsch, and Mein Kampf
Captions available
The idea
The German Workers' Party became the NSDAP in nineteen twenty; Hitler became its Führer in twenty-one and gave it the swastika and the SA. In November twenty-three the Beer Hall Putsch failed. A sympathetic court gave nine months, and he dictated Mein Kampf in prison.
In practice
The trial as a national stage.
Where people slip
The anchor merges renaming and leadership; the witness separates them.
