This article examines British foreign policy perspectives on the threat posed by right-wing extremism to the Weimar Republic during the crisis year of 1923, focusing on contemporary assessments of the Hitler-Ludendorff-Putsch (Beer Hall Putsch). Drawing on diplomatic reports, correspondence, and published sources, the study analyses how officials of the Foreign Office, ambassadors, and consuls perceived the rise of militant nationalist groups. It further examines their assessment of these groups’ potential to destabilise Germany and the broader implications for European stability. By situating British reactions within the context of reparations, Franco-German tensions, and economic upheaval, the article highlights the complexity of foreign perceptions of German extremism.
