Hitler assembled a ragtag militia of supporters in an attempt to overthrow the Bavarian government. They marched on the <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Feldherrnhalle<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a stately public building in Munich and were dissolved by government forces. Sixteen Nazis died, Hitler was arrested, and the Nazi party was nationally banned (Bytwerk, 1979). In 1923, this event did not cause an enormous stir. When Hitler took power in 1933, he established November 9th as a national holiday. Each year, Hitler would host a publicized yet exclusive meeting at the <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Feldherrnhalle <\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and speak before a gathering of his oldest followers. The following day, his speech would be widely published in newspapers. A dramatic reenactment of the march would be performed, embellished with grand burning pylons and blood-soaked draperies. The mood was somber: this part of the day was in remembrance of those who died in Hitler\u2019s service. The original sixteen dead were exhumed and placed into an \u201cHonor Temple\u201d to keep \u201ceternal watch\u201d over Munich (Bytwerk, 1979). These individuals morphed into a bastion of martyrdom to be worshiped.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">November 9th is an excellent example of the Nazis\u2019 use of rhetoric to create a national myth. One rhetorical purpose for the November 9th holiday was to age Hitler\u2019s movement. A relatively recent movement does not have a past to be revered, places and heroes to idolize. In the creation of the holiday, these themes can be crafted. They need not be supported by fact, as long as they are created and spread, they will have an impact on the people (Bytwerk, 1979). In the myth, the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>Feldherrnhalle<\/em> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">becomes the setting of the ordeal in the hero\u2019s journey (Campbell, 1949). The immortalized martyrs model what followers could one day achieve by dedicating themselves to the movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bytwerk, R. L.
