- On the night of November 8th 1923, Hitler and 600 storm troopers burst into a meeting that Kahr and Lossow were holding at a local Beer Hall. Hitler waved his gun at them and forced them to agree to rebel and he let them go home. The SA took over the army headquarters and the offices of the local newspapers
- The next day on November 9th 1923, Hitler and his Nazis went into Munich on what they thought would be a triumphal march to take power. However, Kahr and Lossow had a different idea.
