Rathenau Case and German Royalists Stir Berlin After Assassination
Germany faced a upheaval after the Rathenau murder with a national general strike in Berlin and two minutes of mourning at noon train stoppages. Communists and Socialists held large meetings as police and troops were deployed to curb disorder. Royalist plotting surfaced but the assassination cooled plans. Kaiser Wilhelm was kept informed while arrests linked to the Erzberger case were made. Berlin mourned as Rathenau’s funeral proceeded with officials attending.
