==The Beginning Of His Political Life==

After the war ended, Hitler's future seemed uncertain. There was much  discontent among demobilized veterans because of the lack of employment. The German military had felt it had not been defeated, indeed the German Army stood on foreign soil when the Armistice was signed November 11, 1918 and not a square inch of German soil had been occupied. The Army felt they had done their job, and the nation had been "stabbed in the back" by a gang of traitors who sought to lay hands on the Fatherland.  The "myth" that Germany had been defeated was the "big lie" Hitler spoke of as repeating often enough people will begin to believe it.

Many returning Army units remained intact, despite no longer directly under command of the German Army because of limitations set upon it by the Treaty of Versailles.  The situation was highly politicized, and it appears Hitler was sent to spy originally upon a small splinter group called National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazi) were he found only a shell of an organization, but a willing audience to hear him talk. By 1921 he became leader of the group.  With terrible economic conditions and rapid inflation, support for Hitler’s party grew. By 1923, the Nazi’s had 56,000 members and many more supporters.
