Episode 25 - Counter-Revolution in Lederhosen

Bavaria is a region of Germany that had always kept some distance from the larger nation, and maintained its own identity (and at the time even their own monarch) within the Empire. This independent streak continued into the German Revolution of 1918-19 as events there happened concurrently but separately with what was happening nationally, with the region almost breaking away.    Bibliography for this episode:  Evans, Richard The Coming of the Third Reich Penguin Books, 2003 Peukert, Detlev The Weimar Republic Suhrkamp Verlag am Main, 1987 Harman, Chris The Lost Revolution, Germany 1918 to 1923 Haymarket Books 2017 Weitz, Eric Weimar Germany: Promise and Tragedy Princeton University Press 2007 Jones, Nigel The Birth of the Nazis Constable & Robinson Ltd 2004   Questions?
