And then there’s this:

Nazi Germany fused police with state security forces

“It’s simply not true that Hitler defunded the police. He ran on a law and order program, and it was a very harsh criminal justice policy the Nazis pursued,” said David Blackbourn, a scholar of modern German history and a professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.

The rise of the Nazi Party included a dramatic increase in both the powers of the police and the disruption of the court system used to hold them accountable, historians say.

According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, ahead of Hitler’s 1933 election, paramilitary groups operated separately of the traditional police system of the country. From the mid-1920s onward, the largest and most active of these became known as the Sturmabteilung, or SA.

Commonly known as “Brownshirts” or “Stormtroopers,” the group provided protection to the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or Nazi Party. The Brownshirts’ tactics were notoriously violent and focused on oppressing those who opposed the Nazi platform, according to the Holocaust Museum.

The Sturmabteilung / SA / Brownshirts were under the gay guy, Ernst Rohm, weren’t they? The tactics they employed were the same that we always see on the far left, such as what Obama’s ex-convict buddy Creamer employ against Trump- violently disrupting Trump rallies, shouting down opponents, etc.
