Hitler turns his trial into a stage
1924 · Event
Tried for treason after the Beer Hall Putsch before a sympathetic Munich court, Hitler is allowed to speak for hours and emerges a national name — sentenced to five years, serving nine months in comfort at Landsberg, dictating Mein Kampf. The lesson: not the bullet but the ballot, with the courts asleep.
