Answer from Wiki:
The De-Sturmabteilung.ogg Sturmabteilung (help·info), abbreviated SA, (German for “Assault detachment” or “Assault section”, usually translated as “stormtroop(er)s”), functioned as a paramilitary organization of the NSDAP – the German Nazi party. They played a key role in Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s.
SA men were often called “brownshirts”, for the colour of their uniforms, and to distinguish them from the Schutzstaffel (SS), who wore black and brown uniforms (compare the Italian blackshirts).
I should have known that..just wasn’t sure what he was referring to. Thanks. I just always call them ‘brownshirts’...LOL
