He then was posted as a training corporal to the military training school at Oldenburg, where he served until February 1917.

For his bravery during this offensive, Hitler was promoted to Sergeant and given the Iron Cross 2nd class. Hitler remained with this unit until the end of the war. In March 1919, though with Germany entering revolution, Hitler was posted to Berlin as a military policeman. However, Hitler was a strong supporter of the military government and asked permission to form a militia force in Berlin with which he could suppress the rebels. He was allowed to do so, and so the Berlin Defence Force was created, and within a month of its formation had 1500 members. Hitler used the BDF to suppress any anti-government protesters and even took the law into his own hands. It was the shooting of 15 rebels in August 1919 that drew Hitler to the army's attention, and he was removed as leader of the BDF and discharged from the army.
