And you'd be wise to do a search for ERNST ROHM. It was he who organized and ran the Brown Shirts that brought Hitler to power. But when his usefulness to Hitler ended, so did Rohm's life – in a prison cell – with a bullet to the brain BECAUSE, IN ADDITION TO BECOMING TOO OBVIOUSLY BRUTAL AT THAT EARLY STAGE, HITLER VIEWED HIM AS A POTENTIAL RIVAL! YOU MORONS WHO THINK YOU'LL BE THE PRINCES IN THE NEW ORDER MIGHT WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT!
Reminds me of the fate of those not telling the truth in our own nation, because change is not based on hope. Thanks Mr. Bachert!
Interestingly, after the Night of the Long Knives Hitler’s inner circle was surprisingly durable. They fought amongst themselves for his favor, which he encouraged, but he felt no farther need to enforce his authority by killing them.
This contrasts strongly with Stalin, who killed his acolytes with regularity right up to his demise.
