Hitler referred to politicians who supported the Weimar Republic as "November criminals" to delegitimize them and to blame them for Germany's defeat in World War I and the subsequent hardships of the Treaty of Versailles. The term specifically targeted those who signed the armistice in November 1918, portraying them as traitors who betrayed the German military and people. This rhetoric was part of his broader strategy to galvanize nationalist sentiments and rally support for the Nazi Party by fostering resentment against perceived enemies of the state.
