Sigh.

November 9, 1919: Abdication of the Kaiser.

November 8/9 1923: Beerhall Putsch.

November 8/9 1938: Kristalnacht.

November 8/9 1988: Fall of the Berlin Wall.

There’s a whole bunch I’m missing, but during the 20th Century, a lot of politically significant actions in Germany took place on November 8/9. I don’t know why. I just take note.

Oktoberfest hangovers are a bitch
