Erich Friedrich Wilhelm Ludendorff (sometimes referred to as von Ludendorff) (9 April 1865 – 20 December 1937) was a German general, victor of Liège and of the Battle of Tannenberg. From August 1916 his appointment as Quartermaster general made him joint head (with Paul von Hindenburg), and chief engineer behind the management of Germany's effort in World War I until his resignation in October 1918.
After the war, Ludendorff became a prominent nationalist leader, and a promoter of the stab-in-the-back legend, convinced that the German Army had been betrayed by Marxists and Republicans in the Versailles Treaty. He took part in the unsuccessful coups d’état of Wolfgang Kapp in 1920 and the Beer Hall Putsch of Adolf Hitler in 1923, and in 1925 he ran for president against his former colleague, Paul von Hindenburg, who he claimed had taken credit for Ludendorff's victories against Russia. From 1924 to 1928 he represented the German Völkisch Freedom Party in the German Parliament. Consistently pursuing a purely military line of thought, Ludendorff developed, after the war, the theory of “Total War,” which he published as Der Totale Krieg (The Total War) in 1935, in which he argued that the entire physical and moral forces of the nation should be mobilized, because, according to him, peace was merely an interval between wars. Ludendorff was a recipient of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross and the Pour le Mérite.

Plot: Germany, 1920. First World War is lost. The peace treaty of Versailles obliges Germany to reduce its army, the "Reichswehr" to 100,000 soldiers. Influencal groups of economists and military leaders connect in the "Nationalen Vereinigung" a national convention to plan the coup d'etat. Among them the chief of landscaping and member of the board of directors of the German Bank, Wolfgang Kapp and the highest ranked commanding General Walther, Freiherr von Lüttwitz. General Ludendorf, who used to be the chief of the Supreme Army Command during the World War, pulls the strings in he background by his middlemen Pabst and Colonel Bauer. When the government wanted to dissolve the "Brigade Ehrhardt", the most powerful Freikorps, General Lüttwitz disobeys this order and orders the troupes to march against the government in Berlin. The Government has to flee, first to Dresden, then to Stuttgart. Large parts of the army follow the putschists, who however, are not united themselves. First victim is Secretary of Finances Erzberger.
