5. The SA Strasser & Rohm What Hitler did 30 th June 1934 13 th July 1934 Result of NOLK University style of lesson…

9. Gregor Strasser wasn’t too keen on Adolf Hitler.... I am a man marked by death. Whatever happens, mark what I say: From now on Germany is in the hands of an Austrian who is a congenital liar, a former officer who is a pervert, and a clubfoot. And I tell you the last is the worst of them all. This is Satan in human form 1932 liar – Hitler pervert – Roehm clubfoot - Goebbels

11. Did Roehm know what was coming? Adolf is a swine. He will give us all way. He only associates with reactionaries now. Adolf knows exactly what I want. Not a second edition of the old imperial army. Are we revolutionaries or aren't we? We've got to produce something new, don't you see? A new discipline. A new principle of organization. The generals are a lot of old fogies. May 1933

12. Was Roehm in a strong position? Hitler can't walk over me as he might have done a year ago; I've seen to that. Don't forget that I have three million men, with every key position in the hands of my own people…If Hitler is reasonable I shall settle the matter quietly; if he isn't I must be prepared to use force - not for my sake but for the sake of our revolution. Jan 1934

14. This was of course, done in secret! Watch your back, Ernst.... Himmler, leader of the SS, was especially keen to rub out Roehm. He wanted control of the concentration camps and the police forces.

16. Hitler’s speech on 13 July "In this hour I was responsible for the fate of the German people, and thereby I become the supreme judge of the German people. I gave the order to shoot the ringleaders in this treason." Hitler had wanted Roehm to be let off, for old time’s sake. Himmler and Goering wanted none of it. Roehm was ordered to commit suicide. When he refused, two SS men shot him dead....

18. The Fuehrer Oath I swear by almighty God this sacred oath: I will render unconditional obedience to the Fuehrer of the German Reich and people, Adolf Hitler, Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht, and, as a brave soldier, I will be ready at any time to stake my life for this oath."
