By 1917 he was promoted to lance corporal and won an Iron Cross while being wounded as a dispatch runner. He was later hospitalized due to being temporarily blinded by mustard gas and in shock. When learning of the German defeat in the war, he blamed the loss on enemies within, primarily Jews and Communists. At the ending of the war he was neither a citizen of Germany or of Austria. He was a man without a country. Afterward he became a political informer, or spy, for the German army and was responsible for reporting any suspicious activities in Munich's political parties.
The spying evolved into a turning point of Hitler's life. Soon after, in 1919, he joined the German Workers Party and shortly after took lead of the small revolutionary group. Hitler, who was also spokesman for the group, later changed the group's name to the National Socialist German Workers Party, which was later abbreviated to Nazi. The members that soon became the core of the party lead by Hitler were as follows: Alfred Rosenberg who was an engineer, philosopher, anti-Jew and anti-Christian, Rudolf Hess, a mathematician and geographer, Herman Goering, a Bavarian combat pilot, General Erich von Ludendorff, a decorated war hero, and Major General Franz von Epp, a Bavarian infantry commander. To spread their ideas to the public Nazis instituted a Munich journal known as the National Racial Observer. Hitler then adopted the swastika and Nazi flag into the group.
By 1923 the Nazi party had grown strong enough in Munich to attempt to seize the government. This is when they initiated the Beer Hall Putsch. The attempt to take over failed and Hitler was convicted of treason and sentenced to five years in prison, which was later shortened to eight months. While imprisoned, Hitler and Rudolf Hess began to write Mein Kempf. When they were released, in 1924, the Nazi party had been banned. Adolf was not even permitted to publicly speak.
