hitler attempted suicide whilst in hiding, he was put on trial for treason and sent to landsberg prison. he was given the minimum sentence (5 years), and only served 9 months
The SS, SA, and NSDAP were all banned, the nazi party no longer existed
hitlers judge was sympathetic and allowed Hitler to give long uninterrupted speeches which were reported, making him famous all over germany
The Nazi party's ban was weakly enforced, and it was up and running by the time hitler was out of jail
hitler became leader of the NSDAP immediately after being released bc the party's fortunes had decreased while he was in jail, suggesting the party was dysfunctional without him
Hitler re-evaluated his tactics in prison and aimed to be voted into power, he wrote "Mein Kampf" in prison to outline his ideas and goals, giving the party unity and purpose
