That's what prompted my research. The Beer Hall Putsch. Why would Hitler want his followers to be unarmed in the quest for power? Why would he not want his supporters to wield powerful weapons of intimidation? It makes no sense.

This article and others I have found since answer that question.

For you or anyone interested in Nazi history, I highly recommend documentary/re-enactment series "Hitler's Circle of Evil" now on Netflix. Despite the lurid title, it's serious history--well-considered in the conclusions and interpretations offered in my opinion. And I've learned details I didn't know.
