He was not allowed to speak in public in most parts of Germany until 1927; he was still banned in Prussia, which covered half of the Weimar Republic' land surface and contained the majority of its population, as late as 1928. The ultranationalist right was humiliated in the national elections of 1924...."

We are more civilized now a days, we take away computer access. The night of the long keyboards.
