Some still paint the clash between Hitler and Ernst Röhm as a clash between two distinct ideologies, whereas the reality is far more intriguing. So this video provides evidence for the reason Adolf Hitler initiated the Night of the Long Knives in 1934.

Rohm wanted to have a “second revolution” and take over the army, and depose his old pal Adolf. Hindenburg threatened to dissolve his cabinet and hold new elections if he didn’t control the SA. So he killed Rohm and thousands of others with the help of the army, thereby cementing their loyalty and appeasing Hindenburg.
So the cure is knowledge of the true history, to refute the fake.
That’s right. He was good. He was kind. He had more hair than Churchill. He could dance the pants off of Churchill.
Rohm’s threat as a “Red” Nazi is the second time a real “red” element threatened Hitler. The 1930-1931 Walter Stennes revolt was the first. Interestingly enough Stennes survives WWII by going to China and work as a military advisor to Chang Ka-Shek. Stennes lives to return to West Germany and dies in 1983.
He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon....TWO COATS!
Are we supposed to kiss Adolf’s ring because he killed Ernst the gay guy?
I always remember the Jewish girl who stood up in my history class in high school to address Adolf’s sexual proclivities like wanting Geli Raubal his half-niece girlfriend etc. to abuse him.
When it comes to sex I would say all have sinned don’t feel a need to go down this alley.
They want us to look like we have Nazis on our brains because of the election.
> Hindenburg threatened to dissolve his cabinet and hold new elections if he [Hitler] didn’t control the SA. <
Hindenburg really dropped the ball on that one. Back then, the army was 100% behind him. Hindenburg could have destroyed the Nazis with a single wave of his hand.
But no, the old man’s advisors told him. The Nazis are an easily controlled rabble. Let’s use them to crush the communists! Then we’ll push them off to the side.
Ah…if only Hindenburg had arrested Hitler, then had him shot. What might have been.
The Activists do not understand that they will be the first ones up against the wall if their guys ever gain total power.
People who are orderly, hard workers and rule followers (plus not very bright) will be the people who they want as citizens.
Those people are productive.
His niece Geli Raubel shot herself with Hitler's pistol. He was very possessive of her. She was his half-sister's daughter. And Eva Braun attempted suicide twice because she felt Hitler wasn't paying enough attention to her. The first time she shot herself in the chest with her father's gun. The second time she took an overdose of sleeping pills.
Berlin was San Francisco quality debauched in the 20’s and 30’s, Still was when I was stationed there in the 60’s,
Eva and Adolf. Still a better love story than Twilight.
The ss took out the SA (and not just the SA but lots of civilian political opponents ). Rohm was given the option of suicide but couldn’t do it so Theodore Eicke put a bullet in his head ( and was rewarded for the deed by being made the commandant of dachau and later commander of the 3rd Waffen SS division totenkopf). Hitler, Goering and Reinhard Heydrich compiled lists of their enemies to be eliminated.
Hahahahaha!
Rohm wanted power that Hitler was not going to give up. Rohm and the SA were not happy about Himmler’s rising of the SS.

Heydrich was the turning point. Hitler really admired the guy. Some even speculate had Heydrich survived Hitler would have named him as his successor.
He died in office, and all hell broke loose.
Thing about Leftists is that they are always screaming as they are hauled off to some torture cell before the bullet in the neck:
“Why are you doing this? I’m on your side! I believe in everything you do! Why are you doing this?
They all think they are going to be one of the core Party members.
They forget that everyone can’t be a core Party member.
And those who were useful idiots to help the cause aren’t in the core Party, they are on the outside with a boot on their face like everyone else.
And people with boots on the face become a risk.
And if you are seen as a risk, they don’t have any compunction about putting a bullet in your neck, just...because.
