Who was Gustav Noske?
Gustav Noske was a German politician of the Social Democratic Party of Germany. He served as the first Minister of Defence of the Weimar Republic between 1919 and 1920. Noske has been a controversial figure because, although a member of the socialist movement, he used army and paramilitary forces to bloodily suppress the socialist/communist uprisings of 1919. He thus allied himself with forces that would later turn against the republic and ultimately help bring about its downfall in 1933.
