Part 6/14:
By May 1921, internal tensions within the Nazi Party culminated. Hitler and Rudolf Hess were called to a meeting with Bavarian authorities including the Prime Minister and police chief, who were sympathetic to nationalist ideas but hesitant to support outright revolutionary tactics. Meanwhile, party leaders debated fusion with other nationalist groups. Hitler, advocating for violent revolution rather than parliamentary methods, clashed with more moderate figures like Anton Drexler who preferred alliances and legal reform.
