	Waldemar Hoven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He served as chief Doctor for the Buchenwald Concentration Camp, where he was responsible for euthanizing prisoners with injections of either phenol or gasoline.
		Hoven was then put on trial by the SS, and unlikely rumors suggest that the presiding SS judge Konrad Morgen proved Hoven's guilt by feeding aconitine to Russian prisoners of war who then died of the same symptoms as the SS officers.
		During the Doctors' Trial (a part of the larger Nuremburg Trials), he was found guilty of war crimes, crimes against humanity and membership in a criminal organization; he was hanged on June 2, 1948 at Landsberg prison in Bavaria.

	Munich Putsch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		As a result of the Munich Putsch, Hitler spent nine months in the Landsberg Prison and he was banned from speaking publicly.
		When he was released from prison he won the support of the army by reassuring them that he would not ignite a future war in Germany if he got into power and he promised to deal with Communists and expand the army.
		All of these things helped Hitler gain power in 1932 and had he not been sent to prison in 1923, he would have probably failed in another Putsch and been sent to prison for the rest of his life.

		They were both buried in unmarked, numbered graves at Landsberg prison, but today tourists are not allowed access to the prison or the graves.

		Geo-politics, a relatively unknown subject, was based on the theory that the foreign policy of a country was determined by its location natural resources raw materials and opportunities rather than its political development or outlook.
		Also in 1923 the abortive Munich Putsch, staged by Hitler, carried his name for the first time beyond the borders of Germany and earned him a short term in Landsberg prison, where with the assistance of Rudolf Hess he wrote "Mein Kampf".
		Here we meet the familiar arguments of these three groups; the merciless struggle of all life forms; the victory of the strong over the weak; the ruthless disregard for the rights of others; the Jewish menace; the advocacy of techniques for breeding of superior citizens, and so on.
