Mondaugen doesn't say yes, doesn't say no.  He says something about so
many capitals.

Mondaugen is still a student in 1922 and has never heard of the NSDAP
and A.H. --which is understandable since the Municher putsch by Hitler
and Ludendorff took place on November 8/9/1923.  The trial afterwards
was the first time the name Hitler became known to a larger public.

The history of Munich after WW1 is confusing and it took the Weimar
republic a while before they were more or less able to control the
city.  Munich was the setting of a 'Raden Republik', kind of a communist
experiment; then there were the fights between the left (socialists and,
usually,  more to the left) and nationalists who were supported by some
remnants of the (hierarchy of the) German army.
