The first instance of a court sentence imposed upon General von Ludendorff, former German war lord, was for an attack by him on the Jews and Freemasons.
A fine of 800 marks and a suspended sentence of 16 days in jail was ordered by the Hamburg Court because of assaults to the Jews and Freemasons contained in a booklet published by Ludendorff.
