Bruh doesn't know what the night of long knives was... I bet he thinks its when nazis hunted down communists lol
Isn't it?
Because accoridng to google
"The Night of the Long Knives was a three-day purge from June 30 to July 2, 1934, in which Adolf Hitler ordered the Nazi SS to murder over 80 leaders of the Sturmabteilung (SA), including its chief Ernst Röhm, and other political opponents, consolidating his absolute power, securing the support of the German army, and establishing a precedent for extrajudicial killings"
What you just posted shows it wasn't when they hunted down communists.
Oh sorry, I guess I misunderstood what the SA was. mb
You've probably read up upon this, but to help others learn, the SA are the brown shirts, they were a paramilitary force similar to the SS. They regularly clashed with members of the KPD, the communists, in the years leading up to the last election of the Weimar Republic. You could say they were the actionable part of the NSDAP.
Now Hitler grew fearful of their leaders power and his slightly differing ideas so he had him killed, which empowered the SS in turn.
all good, it happens :) Enjoy your weekend!
