huh?
After WWI, Hitler was stationed in Munich when Bavaria was briefly declared as a Socialist Republic. In May 1919 the German Army (Freikorps) entered Munich and the 'Republic' ended. Hitler was arrested on suspicion of being part of the revolution but managed to worm his way out of it by identifying soldiers who were part of the uprising. It is not known to what extent Hitler was involved, however papers have been discovered which record the results of an election of commissars in which someone by the name of "Hittler" gained 19 votes. Thus it is suggested that Adolf Hitler had a brief career in the Red Army of the Bavarian Socialist Republic.
By the way, Some interesting facts, In Smolny, in 1923, The Soviets decided that a Revolution will start in Europe, in Germany especially, since it was the key to Europe. It was supposed to start on November 9th 1923. A small party started a putch on November 9th in Germany, the NSDAP. The party, in those days were much more a socialist party than a national party. I wonder if those facts are related.
