Adolf Hitler is arrested in Munich for high treason for his role in the Beer Hall Putsch.

The Beer Hall Putsch, also known as the Munich Putsch, was an attempted coup by the Nazi Party led by Adolf Hitler and General Erich Ludendorff on November 8-9, 1923, in Munich, Germany. This event marked one of the first significant attempts by the Nazis to seize power in Germany, well before they ultimately succeeded in 1933. The Beer Hall Putsch was a turning point for Hitler and the Nazi Party. Though a failure, it laid the groundwork for Hitler’s later rise. The trial and subsequent publicity transformed Hitler into a national figure. It exposed the vulnerabilities of the Weimar Republic and demonstrated the power of right-wing nationalism in post-war Germany.
