Brilliant outline of a highly decorated officer and survivor of the Monasteries of Fire, as Ernst Junger called the brutal experience of the war of trenches! The commentaries are sober, impartial and stress the historical atmosphere of the times. Some short newsreels showing the power and the demands of nearly a million men in the ranks of the SA who rightly believed that no taken of power would have been possible without their fight and sacrifice, could form a complementary film. The SA in 1934 were waiting for a true Revolution to start but they were in no mood of rebellion. Congratulations and thank you.

Brilliant, did not know this man’s history, thank you.

@Dan Bertucci Read my comment above comparing the "peaceful protesters" with the SA thugs. As Hitler had a problem with his alliance having added the more establishment elements, the danger for the U. S. politicians in power today is similar. Will the government in power today authorize the elimination of the leaders who have the power to call out 400 "demonstrations" through text messages. or will their accounts be suspended?

Great documentary I would love to see this quality of a documentary on Alois Brunner.

There are so many details about Röhm that i didn't know e.g. that he was openly gay and obviously Hitler knew. But after all the nazi gang lived through the roaring 20's! Judging from your merchandise I trust you are British. It's rare to hear someone from the other side of the North Sea at least trying to pronounce words and names in German. This is a very great video and I'm subscribing.

Excellent overview but I would add a somewhat different perspective: Roehm and the SA were the true socialists in the Nazi party, the left wing with plans for nationalizing banks and industries, agricultural reforms etc. Most members came from the lower and working classes. They took socialist reforms seriously, e.g. the Strasser brothers. Consequently, the SA was feared by the right-wing of the Nazi party esp. the SS which tended to be from the middle and upper classes with the appropriate attitudes and beliefs. That difference drove the rightists to decapitate the SA and suppress it. There was a well-founded fear of Communism after the Eisner Coup and the Spartacists.

Roehm and the Strassers wanted direct nationalization and not a variant thereof.

On this score, the difference between Nazi-sim and Communism was minimal. But *both* are totalitarian statism. Even today's socialists are on that track - just not so far down the line - yet.

Rohm demonstrated a little appreciated aspect of "power." Enter two observations: "Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely" "No drug has ever been as addicting as POWER." When 'power' exceeds the reasonably observed quality of 'responsibility,' taking on the quality of 'lust,' becoming essentially a source of pleasure, Lord Acton's 'absolute power' is seen. It's doubtful that Rohm would have long allowed Hitler, or anyone, to restrain Rohm's penchant for 'power.' In the given time frame, Rohm was acting from his preexisting military/power experience, versus Hitler's far less military/power experience. Obviously, Hitler eventually caved in to his primal instincts, in extremis.

Outstanding. I've heard all of the "highlights" about Rohm but never much detail. It does seem as though he had some thoughts of overall leadership in Germany. His closeness to Hitler was probably what kept him in power, and alive for as long as it did. The German military was fearful of the SA and the fact that Rohm wasn't easily controlled kept people fearful of him. Of course, his blatant homosexuality at a time when the Nazi's were singing a different tune was something that probably drove some others to really despise Rohm. Sometimes it seems like he was thumbing his nose at everyone and finally the pressure on Hitler became too great and that was the end of Rohm and the SA as it had come to be.
