So what have I learnt about the S.A.?
(Some information has been added for you)
The S.A. was led by one of Hitler’s earliest
supporters – Ernst Rohm
The S.A. had supported Hitler and the Nazis by putting up
posters, handing out leaflets and intimidating political
opponents throughout the 1920’s and early 1930’s.

So what have I learnt about the reasons for theNight of the Long Knives?
(Some information has been added for you)
If the S.A. were not brought under control
Hitler may lose the support of Hindenburg
(the President) and powerful
conservatives
The S.A. were becoming
lawless by the early 1930’s
and were causing some
Germans to turn against the
Nazis

So what have I learnt about the consequences of theNight of the Long Knives?
(Some information has been added for you)
Ernst Rohm, potential rival to Hitler and leader of the
S.A. was shot dead
At least 83, (but more likely over 200) people were killed
Hitler’s popularity soared within the Party and amongst the German
population
