Who Were The Sixteen Nazi Party Guys To Die In the Beer Hall Putsch In 1923?

 This is an interesting piece of history....where 15 of the sixteen guys....were just normal regular working-class men who got attracted to the political party.  Most had not been veterans of the war.

1.  Felix Allfarth, was a local merchant, 22 years old.

2.  Andreas Bauriedl, was a hat-maker, in his mid-40s.  

3, 4, 5: Wilhelm Ehrlich, Martin Faust and Theodor Casella were local bank clerks....all between 20 and 30 years old.

6.  Anton Hechenberger, was around 20 years old and a local locksmith.

7.  Oskar Körner, was a local businessman, in his mid-50's.  

8.  Karl Kuhn, was a waiter in a Munich restaurant, mid-40s.

9.  Karl Laforce, was a 19 year old engineering student in Munich.

10.  Kurt Neubauer, was a mid-20s valet in Munch.

11.  Klaus von Pape, was a local businessman and 19 years old at the time.

12.  Theodor von der Pfordten, was in his mid-40s and vet of WW I.....with the occupation of court counsel.  

13.  Johann Rickmers, was a cavalry captain in the war, and just over 50 years old.  

14.   Lorenz Ritter von Stransky-Griffenfeld, was a local engineer, in his mid-30s.  

15.  Wilhelm Wolf, was a local businessman, and in his mid-20s.

16.  So we come to the only guy of significance to die that day in Munich....Max Erwin von Scheubner-Richter.  War veteran, party boss.....at the time....if you wrote up the top five members of the party....this guy was an equal to Hitler. 

Scheubner-Richter surviving this moment and being the key influence to the Nazi Party, and sidelining Hitler's rise?  You can make the case that this intellectual guy probably would have changed the dynamics of the party.  

Oddly enough....long dead on 9 November 1935 (12 years dead)....all 16 guys were dug up from their graves and carried off for a second burial, with a Party big-wig burial....in a 'temple'.

As WW II closed out....the sixteen were dug up a second time (before the end of 1945).  This time by the US Army.  Relatives were given a choice....they were to either bury their relatives in a unmarked spot, or to cremate the dead relative (then dead 22 years).
