This is a glossary section, providing concise definitions for key organisations, newspapers, and individuals referenced in the main text. It covers the major German political parties and paramilitary groups of the Weimar Republic (SPD, KPD, NSDAP, Freikorps, SA, SS), international bodies (Comintern, Second International), and prominent figures such as Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Liebknecht, Friedrich Ebert, and Adolf Hitler. The entries focus on each entity’s political orientation, historical formation, and role in the revolutionary struggles of 1918–1923, making it a useful reference for navigating the book’s dense cast of characters and acronyms.
