Chapter 40 Chapter 6 Beer Hall Uprising (6)

At Marienplatz, a movement that had begun in a fighting stance ended in frantic scattering, as if some natural disaster had struck the place.A group of insurgents hid in a young girls' middle school, some got under the bed and some hid in the toilet.Another group broke into a kitchen and hid weapons around, under stoves, in flour sacks, or coffee kegs.The police searched for the rebels; hundreds of people were disarmed in the streets.Those who stayed behind at the headquarters of the cafe, terrified by the disaster, surrendered to the police without firing a single shot, piled up their weapons, and went home to regret their past.Captain Rohm, who was in the headquarters of the military region, disarmed and surrendered because he realized that it was useless to resist stubbornly.Although the uprising ended, the police force who returned victorious from the beer hall was reviled by the citizens.They shouted: "Go! Protector of the Jews! Traitors! Hounds! Heil Hitler! Down with Karl!"

Lanshutte's stormtroopers were still holding their ground in front of the Commander's Palace when news of the fiasco came.Rumors spread: Ludendorff was dead and Hitler was badly wounded.Gregor Strasser picked up the remnants, and the team left the field "in agony and disappointment at Karl's betrayal".In a wood, they found a Munich stormtrooper throwing a gun on a tree.Strasser ordered the practice to cease.Guns will still be useful in the future.The Lanshut stormtroopers were united, singing "Swastika Flag and Helmet" with new words, and marched towards Khobanov proudly.We were betrayed, they sang, but remained loyal to our country.

There was another group of stormtroopers on the road.They escorted the captured Munich City Councilors in a car—they were in a truck.In the woods beside the road leading to Rosenhain, the convoy stopped.The captain led the captives into the woods, and they turned pale with fright.They felt that "the last hour had come," but the shame they suffered was nothing more than changing clothes with the Stormtroopers.In this way, the stormtroopers could return to Munich disguised as citizens.Chancellor von Niering and other key hostages were also released.Hess managed to transport them to a villa in Tegernsee, but when he called Munich to inquire about the situation, the young soldiers guarding them were persuaded to drive them home.Hess not only lost the hostage, but also lost the transportation.

After hiding the samurai, Schebner Richter's servants put on borrowed civilian clothes and sneaked back to the slaughter site to find out about their master.He was stopped at the Commander-in-Chief; Eigner identified himself to a police officer. "After I begged many times, he led me in. Near the entrance, there were corpses one after another. I was going crazy. I had to look for him among the dead bodies." Egner found that the master was lying on his Beside the servant of my friend Ludendorff. "I was devastated, my hopes were shattered. I went back to my apartment on the Wiedenmeer Strasse." Mrs. Schebner Richter asked where her husband was.Egna quickly lied, but couldn't hide it from her. "I still remember her words: 'It's horrible, but why should I be an officer's liar.'"

Hanf Stangl lost all chance of action.He is at home.My sister called to say that rebel troops were marching into the center of Munich.In the street, he met a well-known stormtrooper who was exhausted.The man said that Hitler, Ludendorff and Goering had all died, and the National Socialist Party was over.Just as Hanfstangel turned to go home and was about to escape, a convertible car roared and stopped beside him.Oman, Esser, Eckart and Hoffman were sitting in the car.They went to the photographer's house together, and after discussion, it was agreed that he would go to Austria alone. It never occurred to Hitler to hide at the Uffing country house, but unfortunate events forced him to do so.About ten miles from Munich, Hitler broke a long silence by saying suddenly that he must have been shot in the left arm. "Fever?" Dr. Schultz asked. "No fever. Maybe there's a bullet in it, or something's broken." They stopped in the woods.The doctor took off Hitler's leather jacket, two sweaters, tie and shirt with difficulty.Schultz discovered that his left arm was badly dislocated, but couldn't put it back in place without help and in the car.He fastened Hitler's wounded hand to his body with a handkerchief and suggested fleeing to Austria.Hitler overruled this opinion.So they continued southward.As they approached Murnau, Hitler said that Hanfsteinl's villa in Uffing was just a few kilometers away.He ordered the driver to hide "Self".He then walked to Oufyin with doctors and first responders.

They arrived at Hanfu Stangel's villa at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.It was a small stone building not far from the village church.Helena led the three exhausted visitors upstairs to the living room.At this point, Hitler began to lament the death of Ludendorff and his faithful Graf - both of whom he had seen fall to the ground.He was getting more and more excited.He said that it was because of Ludendorff's reliability that he paid his own life; it was because of Graf's loyalty that Hitler lost a perfect adjutant.He then denounced the betrayal of the three political giants and "swears that as long as he lives, he will continue to fight for his ideals".

Helena advised him to get some sleep first, because he was likely to be found and needed strength to resist arrest.Dr. Schultz and paramedics helped him into an upstairs bedroom and tried to put his dislocated arm back in place.The first attempt failed because of a badly swollen shoulder.When he reset again, Hitler's face was pained-this time he succeeded.Paramedics then bandaged his arms and shoulders with gauze.Through the door, Helena heard Hitler moaning. The Munich uprising was rife with distorted reports in foreign newspapers: in New York City it was said to be an armed uprising, with Hitler playing a secondary role; consultations), the midday newspapers reported that Crown Prince Luberecht had joined the Revolutionary Party.

On the morning of November 10, the insurgents were either arrested or at large.Hess, who was stranded in Tegernsea, did not have a car, but eventually called his fiancée, Ilse Prower, and told her about the missing hostages.Could she get him a car and take him to Haushoff's?Ilse set off from Munich on his bicycle.Since the place is more than 30 miles away from Munich, the trip back to the city with Hess was extremely difficult.One person rides a bicycle for a while, then leans the bicycle against a tree, and continues to walk; the other person catches up, rides to catch up with the former, and then repeats the process (this is his idea).They finally reached the capital of Bavaria and found Professor Haushofer's home.Although the professor thought the uprising was "ridiculous", he still agreed to collect the fugitive.Despite Hess's limitations—"his merit is not in his intelligence, but in his heart and character"—the professor still likes him.Hess was dismayed; if the hostages had not been lost, the uprising would not necessarily have failed.He wants to kill himself.But Professor Haushofer argued logically, dispelled his idea, and let him surrender.This advice Hess would not accept.A few days later, he left Professor Haushofer's house and hid with friends outside the city.Before long, he was often cycling back to town to care for Ilse—she was sick.
