Political violence in Germany (1918–1933)

Between 1919 and 1922, historians have attributed at least 354 politically motivated murders to right-wing extremists, primarily Freikorps members, and at least 22 to left-wing extremists. During the same period, those convicted of left-wing political murders were more frequently prosecuted and generally received harsher sentences than those convicted of right-wing political murders.
