The Feldherrnhalle martyrs' plaque is a desk piece sculptured as a scaled presentation of the the original Mahnmal in Munich, Germany. The plaque was built to honour fallen comrades who took part at a failed revolution attempt that occurred between the evening of 8 November and the early afternoon of 9 November 1923, when Adolf Hitler had unsuccessfully tried to seize power. The 16 fallen were regarded as the first "blood martyrs" of the NSDAP. Shortly after coming into power, a memorial was placed at the south side
of the Feldherrnhalle crowned with a swastika. The back of the memorial has an inscription "Und ihr habt doch gesiegt!" - And you triumphed
nevertheless! From author's own collection.
