The Munich Putsch and the Nazis 25-Point Program

The Munich Putsch

The Munich Putsch is mostly considered to be a failure. The reasons that it was unsuccessful are that it was poorly planned, the Nazis underestimated the members of the Bavarian Government in thinking that they would all just surrender and because Hitler and Ludendorff didn't have a plan for what they would do if the Munich Putsch didn't go as well as planned. Hitler and Ludendorff thought that the mission was plane and simple, they thought that they would storm the Beer Hall and everybody including Lossow and Gustav would surrender the second Hitler fired his pistol. They also intended that Lossow and Gustav would keep their word for supporting the March on Berlin.

the Nazis 25-Point Program

The main ideas of the Nazis 25-point Program were considered to be very extreme for example the Nazis felt that all criminals should be put to death. The 25-Point Program consisted of extreme nationalism and racism with some socialist aspects. The Nazis wanted to combine Austria and Germany so to have more land for German citizens. They also felt that only people of there race should be aloud to be a citizen of Germany, this meant that Jews would not be aloud to live in Germany.
The Nazis were very much against the treaty of Versailles and thought that it should be "destroyed" because they felt that it was unfair and only further damaging the state of Germany. They felt that everybody who was a citizen of Germany must work and the Nazis encouraged all German citizen to buy items and food that was made in Germany.
