<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gallienus, post: 7802196, member: 42034&quot;]Around the time this medal was made Bavaria was acting quite independently of the German Weimer Republic.&nbsp; In 1923 Hitler was sentenced for his Beer Hall putsch and served his extremely light sentence in a Bavarian fortress.&nbsp; Note that he was charged with trying to overthrow the government by force and only had to serve a little less than 1 year.&nbsp; He was allowed visitors (up to apparently ~ 150 per day!!!), his supporters &amp; gifts as well as a nice clean room with a typewriter to write Mein Kampf.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think he may have been sentenced by a Bavarian court but will have to check.&nbsp; A very historical piece!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m also looking for some of the more common Goetz medals but am not having any luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
