His path to leading the party unfolded in several distinct phases: Military Indoctrination (1919); Joining the DAP (1919), (German Workers’ Party, or DAP); Rise to Leadership (1920–1921; Changing Tactics (1924). After a failed attempt to seize power in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, Hitler was imprisoned for treason. During this time, he wrote his manifesto, Mein Kampf. Upon release, he shifted tactics to seize power through “legal,” democratic means
