What appears to have happened is this. Sibotendorf had organized the Thule Society. That didn't have, you know, that had tried to oppose... There's actually a brief period of time in which the communists actually take over Munich, the Bavarian Soviet Republic, which doesn't last very long, and eventually the army and volunteers put this down.

While that's going on, by the way, Hitler is actually sitting in the... barracks in Munich wearing a red armband because he is technically part of the soldiers who have gone over to the Bavarian Soviet Republic. He seems to have had flexible interests in this case.

So once order is restored, so to speak, the army comes in and decide that, well, one of the things we need, we need to have people who can lecture soldiers on patriotic topics. And so there is a particular captain by the name of Karl Mayer who sort of spots Hitler. He later describes him as like a stray dog looking for a master. Hitler has a knack for public speaking.

Other soldiers will listen to him. Some people can do that. Some people can't. Mayer decides that he's a good person. candidate for further training. And so, yes, they bring him in. They turned him into what's called a Weimann, a kind of liaison man. He's an army propagandist. And then you've got this little outfit called the German Workers' Party.

And essentially what happens is that Hitler is sent in to take over leadership of that, which is what happens. He shows up, he attends a meeting. There are like 50 people there. By the way, the topic of the first meeting he's at is how and why capitalism should be abolished, which is not what you might well expect.

Because remember, the German Workers' Party is trying to cast itself as a counter-Bolshevism. So it's not saying that capitalism is great, which is important. No, capitalism is evil. We agree upon that. We just agree it has to be destroyed from a nationalist point of view as opposed from some sort of strange internationalist point of view.

So Hitler is essentially, as I see it, sent in by the army as their trained man to assume leadership within this small party and to use it for the army's patriotic propaganda campaign. And is his season doing so, even to the name change to the National Socialist or German Workers' Party? I mean, really, what sounds more red than that?
