Revision as of 15:17, 27 December 2008
The 2010 putsch was an attempt by Lothar Prützmann, the German Reichsführer-SS to put a stop to the reforms implemented by Führer Heinz Buckliger.
Prützmann grew steadily alarmed by the reforms Buckliger was pushing for throughout the year 2010, but was too loyal a Nazi to criticize the führer publicly. As the year progressed, Gauleiter of Berlin, Rolf Stolle also began criticizing Buckliger--for not reforming the Reich more rapidly. Prützmann initially opted to oppose both of these men subtly, including attempts to drown out Stolle's speech with a marching band, and the publication of an article entitled Enough is Enough, credited to Dr. Konrad Jahnke, designed to refute Buckliger's reforms.
After these schemes failed, Prützmann and the SS launched the Putsch in December, 2010. The SS detained Buckliger at his vacation home in Croatia, and Prützmann installed Odilo Globocnik as the new Führer. The SS seized the state television and radio stations, and sent a detachment of troops to arrest Stolle. The people of Berlin took to the streets, angered by the putsch, and congregated at Stolle's residence. With so many people watching, the SS was suddenly indecisive as to their next course of action. In the meantime, rumors began circulating that Prützmann was in fact Jewish, which quickly shredded the limited credibility the putsch had. The Wehrmacht moved against in support of Buckliger. Prützmann, realizing he'd failed, shot himself before the Wermacht could arrest him. The Wermacht arrested Globocnik at his home, but a crowd of citizens rushed forward, beat him to death, and left his corpse hanging from a tree.
The putsch was over. Buckliger was able to carry on his reforms, but Stolle had gained considerable credibility for having not been detained. It was clear that he would be in the position of authority moving forward.
