When the war ended, Hitler was in hospital at Pasewalk recovering from his loss of vision, Hitler after he was discharged made his way back to Munich.

In summer 1919 Hitler was sent by the Army to attend a course ofpolitical instruction? of right-wing ideology, teaching him how to influence people. Hitler was appointed as Instruction Officer and given the task of introducing anti-Communist attitudes in selected officers and men. This was an important step for Hitler, since it constituted the first recognition of the fact that he had any political ability at all. Then, in September, he was instructed by the head of the Political Department to investigate a small group meeting in Munich, the German Workers? Party (DAP).
The German Workers? Party consisted of about fifty people and was set up by a Munich locksmith, Anton Drexler and a journalist Dietrich Harrer on 7 March 1918. Drexler's idea was to create a party which would be both working class and nationalist. They saw themselves asNational socialists?.
On 12 September 1919 Hitler attended his first DAP meeting in a room at the Sterneckerbrãu, a Munich beer-cellar. Twenty or twenty-five people gathered. One of the speakers was Gottfried Feder, who was well known in Munich and had already impressed Hitler at one of the political courses arranged for the army.
After another speaker, Hitler rose to his feet and argued in such a way that Drexler offered Hitler a place on the party committee as the seventh member.
