Episode 26 - Putting a Kapp on It

With the 1918-19 Revolution crushed, the victorious Ebert government probably thought it had some space to start picking up the pieces. Well, think again, because the Freikorps were actively hostile to the new government that they saw as little different than the revolutionaries. Almost from the moment the first dust settled, those groups started plotting against the new state.    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?
