ABSTRACT

Herr Muller, a historian, who was in the Brgerbraukeller, provides an eyewitness account of the Munich Beer Hall Putsch. People stood on chairs so that author did not see Hitler until he had come fairly near along the main gangway; just before he turned to the platform. The author saw him emerge between two armed soldiers in steel helmets who carried pistols next to their heads, pointing at the ceiling. Hitler climbed on to a chair to author left there upon Hitler called out The National Revolution has broken out. The hall is surrounded the gentlemen did not move. The General State Commissioner had stepped back and stood back and stood opposite him, looking at him calmly. The change came only during Hitler's second speech when he entered about ten minutes later, went to the platform and made a short speech. It was a rhetorical masterpiece. Hitler, on the other hand was radiant with joy.
