When the war ended, Hitler was in hospital at Pasewalk recovering from his loss of vision, Hitler after he was discharged made his way back to Munich. He was still in uniform and still drew his rations and pay from the army. In December 1918, he volunteered for guard duty in a prisoner-of-war camp containing Russian and French soldiers. By the end of January the prisoners were sent home and the camp closed. Along with the other soldiers, Hitler was arrested by Freikorps men when they seized Munich in May 1919.However Generals recognized Hitler for having an outstanding war record and he was released unharmed.

In summer 1919 Hitler was sent by the Army to attend a course of ?political instruction? of right-wing ideology, teaching him how to influence people. Hitler was appointed as Instruction Officer and given the task of introducing anti-Communist attitudes in selected officers and men. This was an important step for Hitler, since it constituted the first recognition of the fact that he had any political ability at all. Then, in September, he was instructed by the head of the Political Department to investigate a small group meeting in Munich, the

It was at the beginning of 1920 when Hitler was put in charge of the Party?s propaganda, that he made the most important speech of his career. Hitler spoke to nearly two thousand people into the Hofbrauhaus on 24 February. Hitler captured the audience?s attention and used the occasion to announce the Party?s new name, the National Socialist German Workers? Party (NSDAP), and its twenty-five point programme. The twenty-five-point programme consisted of criticising the Treaty of Versailles and the Weimar Government; it was also strongly anti-Semitic.

In organisation and appeal the NSDAP and Hitler had changed, but Hitler did not change his central political objectives after the failure of the putsch. Hitler still remained loyal to the 25-point plan he had originally put together.

Hitler realised that before Nazism was to develop into a mass movement he had to focus on villages and towns. The NSDAP was successful in recruiting locals. The NSDAP sent mobile cinemas to rural areas, which showed people their policies. This attracted big audiences. Hitler was very quick in using propaganda with technology. The Nazi?s held numerous amounts of rallies that enforced the ideas of the NSDAP. The local campaigns increased Nazi membership during 1923-1928 and were building up fast.

Hitler was becoming more nationally renowned day by day. Hitler?s Mein Kampf, which outlined his political views, brought him more recognition whereas he was only confined to Bavaria. He was getting more respect as the NSDAP were using legitimate, constitutional tactics. For example, in 1929, Hitler co-operated with the Nationalist Party (DNVP) leader in his campaign against the reparations settlement. In doing this, Hitler appealed to the people who previously supported the DNVP and he could put forward his views and get more recognition.

The unsuccessful putsch of 1923 had a more important place in the history of the Nazi movement for the lessons which Hitler drew from it and which he shaped his political tactics in the years that followed.
