"Little is known about Hitler before 1920 as many who knew him in his early years were murdered in the 1934 Nazi purge known as the night of a thousand knives."

Pretty sure that should be "night of the long knives."

On the night of the long knives the radical Brown Shirt Homosexuals who were Hitler's street thugs were liquidated, FWIW.

You’re correct. “The Night of the Long Knives’’, June 30, 1934.
