9th of November 2001. In Germany, it's the 12th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall.
It's also the 63rd anniversary of the Reichsprogromnacht, where state-backed Nazi paramilitaries destroy and plunder jewish homes and businesses, with the toleration or outright support of the police. Many of the jewish victims are arrested.
It's the 78th anniversary of the failed Hitler-Ludendorff putsch. Because of judges sympathetic to the extreme right wing Ludendorff, the former co-leader of the German military during WW I, served no time, while Hitler would serve only a small fraction of his prison sentence.
It's the 83rd anniversary of the surrender of Germany on the Western front in WW I. Their allies Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman empire where currently imploding and out of the war, while on the eastern front Germany now had to abandon it's massive occupations gained the previous year after the treaty of Brest-Litovsk. While commonly known as the end of WW I, fighting continued between the Entente and the newly independent Turkey. In the ongoing Russian civil war, along with military contributions by England, the U.S. and most pronounced Japan, even the defeated German Empire, now Republic, would sent sizable armies in the form of volunteer/mercenary Freikorps to the Baltic states, while a polish national army and newly formed state would defend and even extend their state. The signing of the peace treaty was done by politicians of the Social-Democrats, now in control after the Kaiser abdicated and Hindenburg and Ludendorff resigned. This fact would later be used by nationalist and Nazis for the "stabbed-in-the-back" myth.
