As Adolf Hitler presented his ideas to the high-ranking Bavarian officials, Lossow and Seisser, who fhe leader, mimicked him with forced gestures. Though they remained silent, they nodded in apparent agreement. However, Hitler's speech failed to vince everyone. His words, den with nationalist fervor, faded into the air, receiving only scattered appuse from the stormtroopers. The hostages, temporarily subdued, watched with skepticism. To them, Hitler's promises sounded hollow, almost ridiculous.

  Had he been addressing ordinary citizens, Hitler would have bee with an ovation. For many Germans, the try was a stant disappoi, and the Nazi leader represented a hope, however distorted. But in that room, there were no ordinary people. These were promi figures of Munich, men tent with the status quo, unwilling to be swept away by the rants of a fanatic. How could they follow Hitler and risk everything they had built?

  No one believed it. At that moment, someone had to take the first step.

  It was then that Alex, a man with a cold gaze and unyieldiermination, positioned himself behind Lossow. With a discreet but firm motioruck Lossow's back with the butt of his on and whispered, "Appud!"

  Lossow felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead. The man behind him was not someone he could reason with. In situations like this, survival depended on submission. So, with trembling hands, Lossow began to cp. But his appuse was weak, almost imperceptible.

  "Shout: 'Heil, long live Adolf Hitler!'" ordered Alex, his voice low but den with threat.

  The dim lights of the room cealed the se. No one saw the on Alex wielded, nor the look of terror in Lossow's eyes. They only saw a maing profusely on a cold night, his trembling voice breaking the silence: "Heil, long live Adolf Hitler!"

  The excmation shook the room. The stormtroopers, intoxicated by the moment, ted in unison: "Heil Hitler!" The cry spread like an echo, gaining strength with each repetition. Outside the beer hall, a crowd gathered, drawn by the fervor emanating from within. The appuse from outside surpassed that from inside, and Hitler's speech gained new momentum.

  Hitler, his voice strident, denouhe weakness of the current gover. "Germany does not need democracy! It needs a strong leader!" he procimed. His words resonated like thunder, fueling the fire of revolution.

  Half an hour ter, General Erich Ludendorff burst onto the se. Though initially displeased at being dragged into the rebellion without his sent, he couldn't help but feel satisfied with the chaos Hitler had unleashed. After a brief debate, Ludendorff decided to join the cause. His disillusio with the gover led him to believe that, perhaps, Hitler was the answer.

  That night, no one slept. The celebrities of Muniow hostages in the beer hall, realized their fates were no longer in their hands. Lossow, forced to shout slogans uhreat, was a symbol of their helplessness. Men who hours earlier felt invincible were now reduced to mere pawns in Hitler's game.

  Meanwhile, Hitler, Ludendorff, and their followers plotted in the darkness. Berlin was the ultimate goal, and the mobilization of the people, their tool. In a er of the room, Alex kept watch over the key prisoners. His loyalty and efficy did not go unnoticed. Hitler, finishing his speech, approached him and gave him a pat on the shoulder. "Well done," he said, with a smile that hid a thousand iions.

  Alex, though a minure in the grand scheme of the Beer Hall Putsch, had pyed a crucial role. His intervention had altered the course of events, diverting history from its inal path. That night, Germany ged forever. The try that awoke the day was no lohe same. The specter of Nazism had e to life, and the world, unknowingly, was heading towards one of the darkest chapters in history.

  . . .

  Oher side of Munich, amidst the chaos and tension enveloping Germany, two of Adolf Hitler's most loyal followers, Heinrich Himmler a R?hm, fiercely led the armed group of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, known as the Reichskriegsfgge (Imperial War Fg). Together, they spearheaded the bold takeover of the Ministry of the Army in Munich, a move that marked the beginning of their rise within the Nazi maery.

  Heinrich Luitpold Himmler, a man with a cold gaze and boundless ambition, was as devoted to Hitler as he was feared by his own allies. Uher leaders, Himmler did not stand out for his charisma but for his ing and his ability to weave webs of power in the shadows. His name became synonymous with fanatical loyalty, but also with a notoriety that would follow him to the end of his days.

  From a young age, Himmler had dreamed of military glory. He enlisted in the German army during World War I, but the war ended before he could see a. This failure deeply marked him, fueling his obsession with power and trol. After the war, he joihe Freikorps (Free Corps), a militia posed of veterans and far-right volunteers, where he attempted to rejoin the regur army. However, his efforts were in vain.

  It was Ernst R?hm, an iial figure within the Nazi Party, who extended a hand to Himmler. Thanks to his reendation, Himmler joihe national anization of the Reichstag and became the party's standard-bearer. This was the first step towards his participation in the famous Beer Hall Putsch of 1923, a failed coup d'état that, while not achieving its immediate goals, solidified Himmler as a key figure in the Nazi movement.

  Over time, Himmler climbed the ranks with calcuted ess. He held positions of immense influence: captain of the SS, imperial ander of the SS, head of the Gestapo, chief of police, and minister of the interior. Additionally, he simultaneously ahe German Reserve Army Group, the Upper Rhine Army Group, and the Vistu Army Group. Each title was aep in his quest for absolute power.

  But Himmler was not just a ruthless bureaucrat; he was the architect of some of the worst atrocities in history. Under his and, the SS and the Waffen-SS carried out the Holocaust, a genocide that cimed the lives of six million Jews, hundreds of thousands of Roma, and other persecuted groups. He was also the main driver of the General P, a macabre project aimed at German expansion at the cost of exterminating and ensving millions of Svs in the Soviet Union.

  However, Himmler was not a blind idealist. He portunist who always calcuted his moves. He knew his rise depended on his loyalty to Hitler, but he was also willing to betray him if the situation dema. When World War II reached its critical point and Germany began to lose ground, Himmler saw the end approag. In an act of desperation, he secretly attempted to iate with the Western Allies, seeking a separate peace agreement with Britain and the Uates. But Hitler, upon learning of the betrayal, stripped him of all his positions and decred him a traitor.

  Himmler, now a ered man, fled in disguise, trying to escape his fate. However, his luck ran out when he was captured by British forces. In a final act of cowardice, he chose to take his own life rather than face trial for his crimes. On May 23, 1945, Heinrich Himmler bit into a ide capsule, ending his dark legacy.

  But even ih, Himmler's shadow persists. His name remains a reminder of the horrors that fanaticism and unchecked ambition unleash. And in the annals of history, his struggle for power and his ultimate downfall serve as aernal warning.
