Jonathan Brown and Robert Jones talk about the Beer Hall Putsch.
On 8th-9th November 1923, a group of ex-soldiers, anti-Semites and thugs gathered in beer halls in the city of Munich and attempted to seize power in a coup. It became known as the Beer Hall Putsch. The putschists: Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.
With this event now being 100 years old, it's important to talk about this putsch and what processes it arguably started.
