Where there any Reichswehr, Freikorps troops or the Bavarian police that fought the Nazi putsch in Munich, 1923? If so, did Hitler take revenge on them for this action?

Hi Freiritter,

I can't answer your specific question. However, there is a related topic that might be of passing relevance.

The next Nazi coup attempt, in Austria on 25 July 1934, was put down by the Austrian Army.

After the Anschluss in 1938, the Austrian Army was absorbed into the Wehrmacht. However, the Austrian officers responsible for suppressing the 1934 coup were dismissed from the service. Some were sent to concentration camps, where a number died in custody.

Cheers,

Sid.
