EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Wolfgang Kapp, the Controversial German Chancellor of the Kapp-Putsch Era (1920-1922)" 2. Description: This striking black and white portrait captures the intense gaze and determined expression of Wolfgang Kapp, the German Chancellor during the tumultuous period of the Kapp-Putsch in 1920-1922. Born in 1858, Kapp was a right-wing politician and military officer who led the unsuccessful coup attempt against the German government, aiming to overthrow the Weimar Republic. 3. Historical Context: The Kapp-Putsch, also known as the Kapp Revolt, was a significant event in German history that marked the height of political instability during the post-World War I era. The putsch, or coup, took place on March 13, 1920, when Kapp and his supporters, mainly Freikorps (volunteer military units), seized power in Berlin. The coup was met with widespread resistance, and the German military, along with the workers' and soldiers' councils, managed to restore order within a week. 4. Appearance and Character: In this portrait, Kapp is depicted with a stern, bullish appearance, sporting a prominent moustache and a winged-tip mustache, which was a common fashion among German military officers during that time. His piercing eyes and strong jawline convey a sense of determination and resolve, reflecting his unwavering belief in his cause. 5. Legacy: Despite the failure of the Kapp-Putsch, Wolfgang Kapp remains an intriguing figure in German history. His actions contributed to the growing political polarization in Germany and the eventual rise of the Nazi Party. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and often tumultuous political landscape of post-World War I Germany.
