Описание: With the war coming to a close and revolution seemingly imminent, the government of Prince Max von Baden despatched Noske to Kiel as its Governor in an attempt to quell the widening naval mutiny. Despite some limited success on 6 November Noske reported that the mutiny had begun to spread. With the war over and the Kaiser's decision to abdicate, Ebert - now at the head of a provisional government - recalled Noske to Berlin and handed him responsibility for the military governance of the capital on 28 December 1918. In this capacity Noske recruited the Freikorps which successfully put down the Spartacist rising the following month. In February 1919 Scheidemann appointed Noske defence minister. However in March 1920 he resigned with his failure to ensure military backing against the right-wing Kapp Putsch. Noske served from 1920-33 as upper president of Hanover, after which he settled in Frankfurt/Main. His retirement was by no means peaceful however. Arrested in July 1944 in connection with the failed assassination attempt upon Hitler, he was only released from a Gestapo prison in Berlin with Russia's conquest of the city.
