Politics, Germany: Adolf Hitler attempts a coup against the government in Munich, Bavaria. He is accompanied by erstwhile Generalquartiermeister Erich Ludendorff, with whom he hoped to form a government. Others accompanying him included: Hermann Göring (Hermann Goering), Alfred Rosenberg, Rudolf Hess, Ernst Hanfstaengl, Ulrich Graf, Johann Aigner, Adolf Lenk, Max Amann, Max Erwin von Scheubner-Richter, Wilhelm Adam, Heinrich Himmler, and Rudolf Hess.
The coup is unsuccessful. Gustav Ritter von Kahr, a minor Bavarian functionary who had recently been appointed Staatskomissar (state commissioner) with plenary powers, is a presumed ally who turns out not to be. Sixteen people die during the march, which is resisted by government troops. Hitler is taken prisoner and winds up serving nine months in jail at Landsberg Prison. Goering is badly wounded in the "leg."
Ludendorff walks straight through the carnage and is unmolested by the troops. He leaves the party soon thereafter.
