Murder rate in the last years of Weimar Republic 1927-1933

Upvote:2

During the Weimar Republic the society in Germany was extremly divided. So there were also quite a lot of political murders and actual firefights between right and left wingers. I think this should also be taken in account.

In German, an article about political murders mainly in Bavaria, where quit a few politians got murdered. Then there was for example the case, when 21 members of some church group were murdered by some right winger, probably mistaken for members of some left wing organisation. In a society where usually not that much people get murdered, those political crimes can actually push the numbers quite a bit.

At the end you'll find additional sources

There's a prezi with some of the murders of known politicians (also some additional sources)
