Document Summary
Hitler and the kampfbund, along with ludendorff to add legitimacy to the coup, march on munich to seize power from the weimar government. Although the coup was a failure, the hitler-ludendorff trial gained massive publicity, exposing hitler"s rhetoric. While serving time for the attempted revolution, hitler also wrote mein kampf. An annual rally (1923 1938) of the nazi party, and one of the largest nazi propaganda events after 1933, bringing in as many as half a million people at times. German citizens marched with hitler and swore their loyalty to him; the event purported to exemplify the might of the german people, and the solidarity between the volk and the nazi party. Significant because it effectively strengthened the personality cult of adolf hitler, portraying him as german"s chosen savior (especially after 1933). A terrorist group that grew partly out of the student movement in west germany; opposed to marriage, the nuclear family, and denounced consumerism.
