"Seluruh Jerman dalam kekacauan. Kaum revolusioner merebut kekuasaan di kota-kota Munich, Hanover, dan Cologne. Satu pemerintah daerah Jerman satu demi satu digulingkan oleh dewan pekerja dan tentara. Adolf Hitler, yang sedang dalam pemulihan di rumah sakit militer, bereaksi keras terhadap berita ini. "Tidak mungkin bagi saya untuk duduk diam satu menit lagi," tulisnya di Mein Kampf."

All Germany was in turmoil. Revolutionaries seized power in the cities of Munich, Hanover and Cologne. One regional German government after another was toppled by workers' and soldiers' councils. Adolf Hitler, recuperating in a military hospital, reacted violently to this news. "It became impossible for me to sit still one minute more," he wrote in Mein Kampf.
