Verbatim record of the trial (Hauptverhandlung) against Adolf Hitler, Erich Ludendorff, and others for high treason, Feb. to Apr. 1, 1924 After Hitler's "March on Berlin", he was arrested for high treason. During Hitler's trial, sympathetic magistrates allowed Hitler to turn his debacle into a propaganda stunt. He was given almost unlimited amounts of time to present his arguments to the court, and his popularity soared when he voiced basic nationalistic sentiments shared by some of the public. On April 1, 1924 Hitler was sentenced to five years' imprisonment at Landsberg prison for the crime of conspiracy to commit treason. Hitler received favoured treatment from the guards and had much fan mail from admirers. Hitler was released on December 20, 1924 after the authorities decided that he was not a danger to the public.
