This is one of those historical essays I occasionally write.
So around the time-period of 1919 to 1923 in Germany....things were in a chaotic state, and something called Fememorde would occur (basically meaning vigilante murders were accomplished).
Femegerichte simply translated over to mean a court by the people for crimes that they were believing had occurred. In simple terms....a vigilante court.
The chief target....left-leaning Germans (to include Soviet-minded Germans).
Number killed? Historians state the number of 350....more or less.
Does this kinda explain why the Weimar Republic was never really took 'root'?
