In 1923 Hitler tried to take over the government of Bavaria by force as the first step towards seizing control of Germany as a whole. The attempt failed and he was put on trial for high treason and found guilty. He was sentenced to five years imprisonment and given a 200 Mark fine. The presiding judge, who was symapthetic towards Hitler refused to order Hitler's deportation to Austria (as was the law). Thanks to "good behaviour", he only served 9 months; while in prison he wrote his famous book 'Mein Kampf'.
