Communists vs Freikorps in the Spartacist Uprising

Did an attempted communist takeover in 1919 Germany lead to an eventual takeover by the Nazis? That's the question that we're exploring as we walk the streets of Berlin where the Spartacist Uprising took place. Along the way, we'll be looking at an artifact from the collection at The Gettysburg Museum of History that ties to the Freikorps, which was brought in to crush the rebellion.
