The Bavarian Soviet Republic (German: Bayerische Räterepublik)[1][2] was the short-lived attempt to establish a socialist state in the Free State of Bavaria during the German Revolution.[3][4] It took the form of a workers' council republic. Its name is variously rendered in English as the Bavarian Council Republic[5] or the Munich Soviet Republic (the German name Räterepublik means a republic of councils or committees; council or committee is also the meaning of the Russian word soviet).[6][2] after its capital of Munich. It sought independence from the also recently proclaimed Weimar Republic. (source: wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavarian_Soviet_Republic))
Few may realize that the Bolsheviks made it as far as Bavaria in 1919 and established a short-lived republic. WWII was maybe revenge for throwing them off?
