What if the Beer Hall Putsch had been succesful?

HeinrechvonBaronich

The Beer Hall Putsch was a failed Nazi Coup d'etat in Munich, Germany which had about 2,000 Nazi supporters participating. This event caused 15 Nazis, 4 police officers, and 1 bystander dead.

But what if, it was Succesful?

Would it lead to the French and the British mobilize due to the situation in Germany? Would it be the same as our timeline? Would the Germans have more time to industrialize and succesfully invade the Soviet Union? Or would it lead to Operation Sealion becoming succesful?

Well its up to you to decide the outcome to this alternate timelime.

I don't think that beerhall putch could had been any more succesful as in OTL or at least not much. There wasn't much support for Hitler's clique and at best they could have taken control in some key places in Munich but police and army owuld had taken them down eventually.

Yeah it was never going to result in a Nazi controlled Germany. Actually I think if it did accomplish anything it would be a small area around the City itself and that ultimately it would mean that the Nazi never gain control over the rest of Germany. As they wont get enough votes to take over that way and no government is dumb enough yo give them the emergency powers to take control once they succeed in staging a coup in Munich.

Absolute best case scenario for the would-be Chaplin impersonator would be Nazi Bavaria, and even then it'd last maybe a year.

That is really optimistic view. Not sure if even Hitler or other of his then comrades expected that good result.

Hitler very much expected to go all the way to Berlin.

Plan was :
First get Munich what would get you (almost) all of Bavaria as the bavarian Reichswehr would/shoul now completly to the putschist cause​
was 'compromised' by the men in charge revoking everythinf as soon as they had left Hitlers ... 'influence' as they (v-Kahr etc.) NEVER wanted to riske to be "reichsexecuted" by the Reich and the Reichswehr as just some days ago the communist Saxony and Thuringia ... where the Reichswehr now began to concentrate on Thuringia's southern border for ... some blue-white eventualities from further south ...​
Then march northwards as Captein Ehrhardt had promise - afaik at least already 'informed' the militia men he had access to in that region - to put up a some thousands of militia men to 'guard' Hitler and company on their march to Berlin​
these militiamen should also 'guarantee' enough 'protection' and power to 'distract' the Reichswehr in Thuringia and Saxony to bloc Hitler​
also it was expected these men-of-Seeckt (selected by him for loyalty to him and 'good ole' prussianistic obedience to military orders and reliability) would immediatly flock to Hitlers cause. (some utter missintertpretion of Seeckts behavior during the Kapp-Putsch)​
And having reached Berlin with all troops and 'truly german germnas' having joined the march the republik would have been overthrown to 🤔 ... ... next question please

That would have been a successfull Hitler-Putsch.

Is there anyway for Ludendorff to get the Nazis more support from the military and Junkers?

That actually was part of the plan. ... didn't worked either.
... much to the 'dissapointment' of Ludendorff himself that the soldiers facing him did NOT flock to his cause at the Feldherrenhalle
