He used his trial as a platform to talk about his Nazi ideologies, gaining much greater notoriety. Whilst in prison Hitler wrote his manifesto Mein Kampf My Struggle in which he outlined his ideology and violent antisemitism. Mein Kampf was published in Stable government became impossible with the Nazi Party and the Communist Party both opposing the democratic constitution, and controlling over half the seats in parliament between them.
