Description
This is one of the photographs taken by Thomas F. Lambert, Jr. visiting many sights in Munich that were later destroyed like the Brown House and the Temple of Honor. The verso of the photograph has the following inscription: [Unintelligible] the marble columns can be seen the Brown House! This is one of the 2 memorial in Munich to the 16 followers of Hitler when he tried, unsuccessfully, to seize power in 1923. At first, Hitler was the head of a little group of obscure adventurers who dreamed of getting supreme power in Germany and restoring the nation to her old imperial strength. To lift Germany from the humiliation of the Versailles Treaty and the degradation of losing its war. In 1923, the group held a marching demonstration in Germany contrary to the law; these 16 were shot down in putsch or riot. Hitler and the leaders were convicted and sentenced. Then the 16 dead were traitors. Today they are national heroes, they lie in the coffins in the picture.
