  • Berlin
  • In March 1920 the Weimar Government announced they were going to make the army smaller and get rid of the Freikorps
  • Help us put an end to this. Go on strike!
  • The leader of the Berlin Freikorps refused to let this happen and joined up with politician Wolfgang Kapp. They came up with a plan to take over Berlin and make a new government with Kapp incharge.
  • We are under the instruction of the government not to work as part of a general strike, to force Kapp out of Berlin.
  • Supported by the Berlin army, Kapp and around 12,000 Freikorps successfully took over Berlin on 13th March 1920. The government asked the regular army to put down the uprising but they refused.
  • The putsch has failed I must flee!
  • Instead the government asked the people of Berlin to help. He asked them not to support Kapp and to go on strike.
  • The people supported the strike and Berlin shut down for 5 days. Kapp realised he could not control the city and so was forced to give up his putsch.
  • 5 Days
  • The Putsch collapsed. More than 400 army officers were involved in the putsch but few were punished. Kapp ran away to Sweden.
