    Kurt Ludecke

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    Jump to navigationJump to search
    Kurt Ludecke (Berlin, 5 February 1890 – Prien am Chiemsee, 1960) was an ardent
    German nationalist and international traveler who joined the Nazi party in the early 1920s and who
    used his social connections to raise money for the NSDAP. Before attending a rally at which Adolf
    Hitler was a featured speaker, Ludecke had assumed that Hitler was simply "one more fanatic" but
    after hearing Hitler speak at a mass demonstration at the Konigsplatz in Munich,[1] he had adopted
    Hitler as his hero: "His appeal to German manhood was like a call to arms, the gospel he preached a
    sacred truth."[2] The next day, he spoke to Hitler for four hours and offered himself to Hitler and the
    Nazi cause "without reservation...I had given him my soul."[1][2][3]

    Activities[edit]
    In the wake of the uproar over the Law for the Protection of the Republic, after the assassination
    of Walther Rathenau, a rather preposterous plan for a coup d'état in Munich was hatched by civil
    servant Dr. Otto Pittinger. The nationalist organizations (including the Nazis) would overthrow the
    Bavarian government via a putsch and replace it with a dictatorship under Gustav Ritter von Kahr,
    the former minister president of Bavaria. Ludecke's mission was to help coordinate support of the
    Northern German right-wing revolutionaries in preparation for spreading the putsch throughout
    Germany.
    Upon his return to Bavaria, Ludecke found that Pittinger was going on vacation instead of running a
    coup and that Hitler was furious, announcing to Ludecke that he would never again rely on others for
    help in a coup.
    Ludecke offered his services to Hitler as an envoy to Benito Mussolini soon after the Italian dictator
    marched on Ro
