One of the most important legacies of the Great War was the creation of Germany's Weimar Republic. It was an experiment with democracy that ended disastrously with Hitler's seizure of power in 1933. However, that wasn’t his first attempt: ten years before, Hitler sought to seize power in the infamous "Beer Hall Putsch." Along with the other crises of 1923, the putsch was the young Weimar Republic's sternest test. Dr. Scott Stephenson explores Hitler's ill-fated march on the center of Munich in the month of its 100th anniversary.
Featuring distinguished lecturers and authors from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College Department of Military History, the Museum and Memorial is proud to host the Pershing Lecture Series, which fosters understanding of World War I and its impact on the law, international policy and culture of today. Hosted in partnership with the U.S. Command and General Staff College.
