The Ninth of November is one of the days who need to have a video by itself, with so many turnabout points in german history. The November Revolution and establishment of the republic 1918, the Beerhall Putsch 1923, the Night of the Broken Glass 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall 1989 coincidentally falling on one day.

By claiming that the nazis where right wing, no one ever would vote on a right wing party in the EU ever, and so it happened, and so the left rules the EU for decades now thanks to ww2 and we are heading to the same point again. The left still tries, then with communism, that was to brutal so then fascism, that launched nazism, and they all originated from socialism. Even Marx is antisemetic.

A surreal experience for sure. The Führerbau looked identical since the war. It was even stranger seeing the Haus Der Kunst, though it’s skylights have been covered over.

[@TenOrbital]

omg. I've been alive for most of the century since (I'm 61). When I was a kid in the 60s and 70s, WW2 still loomed large. At ANZAC day parades the WW1 veterans were old and dwindling but the WW2 cohorts were middle-aged and numerous.

[@gameburn178]

I experienced something similar in Canada. One of my uncles was at Normandy, part of the Sherbrooke Fusiliers tank regiment. The other served in the Italian campaign. I grew up knowing them as normal guys. Except they had some pretty good war stories. The small town I lived in had dozens of veterans: one was a Chindit, another had been a commando, dozens fought at the Scheldt. Even more had served in Bomber Command. I guess it is up to us to tell people who they were, and more than anything that they really existed.

The beer hall putsch is one of the most underratedly important events in world history. It rarely gets any mention in the united states, and NEVER in school, but it seems to me that it would be a great educational opportunity: “When ‘they’ show you who they are, believe them.” Whoever ‘they’ is, it doesn’t matter. Actions speak louder than words. The Nazis reformed themselves into a respectable enough party to win votes, but that’s only if you ignore the vile seditious activity that they had engaged in at their very beginning, including the putsch.

[@marcstein2510]

Because the putsch failed some historians are not interested in it. Same as the kapp-putsch of 1920. For them the evil emerged in 1929 when it grew more and more powerful. Otherwise were do you put the line? I am always surprised the DNVP is rarely mentioned in history books. This far-right precursor party to the nazis was in the end the differencemaker when they went into coalition with the nazis and they made everything possible.(if i remember correctly the nazis had gotten 44% in the last elections and it was only with the DNVP’s 7% that they could govern. Interestingly the DNVP’s members dissolved themselves soon and joined the nazi party party.

Once again, a well presented and researched video. I enjoy the way in which you treat the subject matter with respect.

[@Kiwifreak32]

9:58 Göring shouted at the police not to shoot on fellow WW1 veterans. I think the police was very confused when Göring called the past war "world war 1" and maybe they were a little bit worried.

[@jackpavlik563]

I wonder if “WW1” was the literal translation of what Gohring said.

[@scockery]

Göring "I meant The Great War." Officer #1: "Wasn't such a great war for me!" Officer #2: "Wars not make one great!" Officer #3: "Shut-Up, Officer Yoder."

Professor Felton, thank you for another brilliant historical video. Your videos about WW2 are simply the best on KZbin.

[@richardpeters3530]

Enthralling! Some of your videos, such as this one, are truly outstanding.

[@frankmorlock9134]

Very interesting video, Mr. Felton. I wish I had had such detrailed information back in the 60{s when I was stationed in Bavaria and occasionally visited Munich. There is an interesting book on the putsch by Harold Gordon , titled Hitler and The beer Hall Putsch, Princeton, 1972 which I read many years ago. It details the situation in Munich and Bavaria before the failed putsch. There were many other semi' miliary groups around trying to get political traction, many of which were very crazy. Hitler wasn{t the only one. Although the putsch failed the aftermath was a success because it revealed that the Nazis were the only group willing to take action, and in effect left Hitler and the NSDAP the only players left on the field.

[@wazzouz]

Hitler murdered everyone whom he thought was in his way, so that is why they were the "only players left on the field".

[@CatholicSatan]

I have this book too, big fat thing - but it's a good read.

[@dukeman3ca1]

Excellent video! Thanks for all the content!

[@gv4189]

I thoroughly enjoy every documentary episode you create for all of us to enjoy and it feels like I am actually there when I watch them. Another great documentary Dr. Felton.

[@gybgy51]

As always, terrific content with excellent background context both before and after the event. Details, such as the experience and fascinating fate of Hans Ritter von Seisser...you can't get that anywhere other than this channel.

[@EziekKiel]

This was very informative. Learned a lot of details about this event I had never known about. Thanks Felton, excellent post!

I'm sure the chances of you seeing this are slim, but thank you so very sincerely for your factual, unbiased knowledge you give to so many! So thorough and entertaining every time! You are a true treasure and treat to all things history !!!

[@motorTranz]

Congratulations on 2 million subs Dr. Felton!

[@terence7913]

Wow 100 years since Hitler's first step on the dictator ladder...that is astonishing to think of! Thank you for all your great videos Dr Felton! I always love to watch them and learn from them 😊

[@drmarkintexas-400]

Thank you for sharing 🎖️🏆🙏🇺🇲

[@dave74700]

Thoroughly enjoyed this one as I do with all your stories. Thank you Mark.

[@onebeartoe]

Many thanks, Dr. Mark Felton!

[@paulkirkland3263]

Genuinely one of the best things you've done, and that's saying something. I particularly love the 'then and now' views around Munich. I'm sure you are aware of a UK magazine called After The Battle, which compares old wartime photos to contemporary photos, taken from the same spot. Could this be a new branch for your channel ? You must have covered all the little known aspects of WW2 by now, so this could be a new theme going on into the future. Once again, thanks for a great video.

[@sksteele1235]

Thanks Mark!

[@dylantaylor251]

Thank you Dr. Felton, excellent presentation as always.

[@ColinH1973]

Excellent work, Mark, particularly the use of the then and now photos. One of your best.

[@Hongaars1969]

Great work as always. Let’s also not forget that it’s also the 85th anniversary of Kristalnacht today.

[@faithlesshound5621]

So Kristallnacht took place on the 15th anniversary of the beer hall putsch? That can't have been a coincidence.

[@Dommas1106]

Interesting fact: Today there is a memorial plaque facing against the torn down Beer Hall Putsch memorial at Feldherrnhalle. It remembers the shot policemen of the Beer Hall Putsch.

[@thomasel9171]

History is written by the victor

[@jonnyqwst]

A great pivot point in his trajectory. Thank you for putting this together.

[@steveadams6010]

Excellent! I was wondering if you would have a 100th anniversary video on November 8th, but saw nothing and was puzzled. When it did come out, your video did not disappoint. Thank you for crystallizing a moment in history.

[@ray7419]

Happy Anniversary everyone. 🤣 Great and informative video as always Dr. Felton.

[@guylelanglois6642]

It's amazing how few people realize this history is bound to repeat itself with the current situation in the United States.

[@TheOnlyPommyman]

Yes, extremely concerning how similar the situations are with the extreme left/right groups jostling for power. All it will take is one extremely charismatic individual to really shake things up.

[@cameleopard42]

This was such a shameful period for Germany, specifically the politically-motivated charges that followed this totally innocent visit to the beer hall, weaponizing the justice system against traitors. Sad

[@joshl8897]

Not really. Germany had completely exhausted itself after years of a two front war and then the following "peace treaty" sealed the deal and insured further internal collapses. On top of this, most of the surviving younger adult male population had some formal military background (and lets be honest, some amount of PTSD). That situation was a powder keg. The left/right politics we see in the US are more political theater to win votes than anything else. They are a lot closer together on most issues than people realize.

[@cameleopard42]

@@TheOnlyPommyman Both sides, folks. The "extreme left" groups are jostling for power with the right ones, not with the legitimate democratic government. Already having attempted a coup and being in control of a major party describes both the extreme left and right. But trying to seize power through force after losing an election is really just theater to win votes, nothing to be concerned about. I just hope that charismatic individual doesn't show up, such an aspiring dictator could turn one of those parties into a cult a personality that will support him no matter what.

[@porkstack]

History ALWAYS repeats itself. That's what makes it compelling.

[@vandalsavage6152]

Another excellent production Dr, thank you.

[@tomjanning264]

I was just in Munich and visited some of the sites Mark has done presentations on. Thanks Mark!!

[@robertwguthrie3935]

Your channel is a treasure trove of history. I wonder if it would be possible to do a presentation about the scandal concerning the Bund Deutsche Madel during the 1936 party rally in Nuremberg.

[@jeffclark7888]

And on this date in 1918 Kaiser Wilhelm abdicated his throne and fled to exile in Doorn, The Netherlands.

[@jeffclark7888]

Another great job with this presentation, Mark. Greetings to you from Texas.

[@melissapekarek3283]

Mark, your content truly stands apart! The way you include the events, put names with faces and often the outcomes of their lives, and photos and video of locations, and what they look like today. I recommend your channel to my home educating friends for exceptional content, and as a veteran home school mom my suggestions are far and few between. I look forward to more of your content!

[@lsx001]

I feel emotional for being able to experience this significant event that took place exactly 100 years or a century ago through the narration of Mr. Mark Felton.
