Hello, and thanks your making your lecture available to the public! I only noticed one “slip of tongue”, when you said at 19:33, quote: “a plot to overthrow Kaiser Wilhelm, who was the chancellor of Germany”. Cheers!

Thanks Wolfie! I was indeed talking about the The Beer Hall Putsch, which was an attempted takeover of Bavaria in 1923. If this had been successful, Hitler and his “gang” probably would have marched on the Weimar Republic in Berlin.
Saying that he (Hitler) attempted to “overthrow Kaiser Wilhelm” was indeed inaccurate. I believe Gustav von Kahr was the Prime Minister of Bavaria at the time while Wilhelm was in power in Berlin.
Thanks for keeping me honest Wolfie and I’m glad you are listening! I welcome ALL criticisms and thoughts, helpful and otherwise.

But Kaiser Wilhelm abdicated in 1918, and the monarchy ended. He had been emperor, not chancellor. At the time of the Hitler-Ludendorff-Coup, Gustav Stresemann was chancellor of the Weimar Republic.
