About this episode
How did Hitler get caught after leading the failed Beer Hall Putsch, which killed 20 people? Why was he allowed to turn his 24 day trial into a piece of internationally received political theatre? How did a botched coup become a dangerous Nazi myth?
Join Sarah Churchwell and David Olusoga as they explore how Hitler’s trial for the notorious Beer Hall Putsch catapulted him into the limelight.
