Can Sup Forums redpill me on the Night of the Long Knives?

If it happened in Britain itd be Night of the long spoons

They killed a bunch of people who couldn't be trusted. They didn't do this earlier because they didn't have the legal authority to do it, and it would have disrupted the party, which they needed unified until Hitler was elected.

There's no real red pill here as far as I know.

purged the SA and Rohm who was a liability because he was a degenerate, a fag and a communist
also got rid of the strasserists and others who were waiting to stab him in the back.
his actions were supported by the military and most of the party since the SA was a train wreck and a liability

the only redpill I guess is that to make a successful movement on that scale you need to ally with people who you don't really want to ally with, and sooner or later you need to address that issue or they'll ruin you and your cause.

It is like when sites started using Captchas.

Was there
Was okay

What are next?

I've heard that some of Röhm's followers wanted to embrace the socialism part of national socialism to the point of nationalizing literally fucking everything and confiscating the hereditary property of old nobility to the state.

Too natSOC for nazis.

Yeah because it was the strasserists that drove Germany into attacking Poland and self-destruction.

Wait, no, that was the revanchist conservative leadership..

This, Röhm called it the "brown revolution on a societal level".

Basically the SA was full of gay pedophiles and hitler got tired of their shit. Also he sold out national socialism for german industrialists. You can choose which reason you think is more important.

Actual national socialism was always extremely left. The natsoc economics were basically split to technocrats and socialists but hitler backstabed them both.

didnt it start because a commie jew in france killed the german ambassador or am I thinking of another event?

read "tell the truth and shame the devil" by gerard menuhin

Definetely another event.

Sealed indictments

Criminally underrated.

>Hitler needed the military and aristocracy on his side
>Rohm and Strasser put the socialist in national socialist
>the old guard didn't like this wing of the party
>Hitler shored up support of the larger base of Germans by getting rid of them

They were too extreme for the time being and had a real possibility of fracturing the party and turning the people against them before they had a secure hold of power. It was a necessary evil to get rid of them. It's kind of like pic related. There's more urgent matters than being a hardcore revolutionary all the time.

>hitler not only ruined mussolini

>He ruins his own party and kills off all the good members

While that’s true I think hitler should have given the economy under the control of the technocrats asap, as when they finally did it the german industrial capacity guadrupled. Imagine if they could have used that capacity to for example produce oil or make planes, luftwaffe could have been active even in 1945.
