Stalin, Pol Pot, and Hussein (and probably others) used the same method where they had people support them and cause chaos for them, then had them all killed off (with their insider trust and knowledge of who they were) when they were no longer needed. Sadam even allegedly threatened to have one of his former supporter's young child raped and murdered while his former supporter was forced to watch if he didn't confess to crimes to make them look bad. Moral of the story is: remember, whenever a leader calls you as citizens to revolt and commit crimes, storm a place, etc...they don't need their revolutionaries when the revolution is done. Their revolutionaries are often among the first to go. Doesn't matter how convincing they sound, how much you believe them, if they ask you to commit crimes, or things that could get you in jail (if you don't see it as a crime), and they aren't doing it too, fucking run. This has happened too much for you to volunteer to be used like that. I'm not talking about anything current, or any one place, as this happens all over the world and throughout history, whenever and where-ever you are, don't be their bitch. They won't reward you for it. They may say you'll be their martyr...till they drag you out back and shoot you. Just leave and find leaders that won't ask that of you.
What if the " storming of the gates" is necessary? Also you dont want the leader in the fray possible getting killed, ya a leader up front is moral bosting and makes the revolutionaries trust the leader more but if the leader gets killed, then the entire revolution crumbles
the old mustache petes of german politics seen hitler as a little funny man who they could easily control as a puppet, the night of the long knives basically confirmed germany's and the world's worst fears
0:54. Did you see that guy flinch when Hitler raised his magnifying glass? He was obviously very nervous to the point that, at least subconsciously, he thought Hitler could hit him.
If you look further, you would see Hitler's hand shaking. To some medical doctors, the shaking was indicative of Parkinson's Disease but that is only a theory although Hitler's personal physician Theodor Gilbert Morell also thought Hitler was suffering from Parkinson's .
Supposedly, Rohm's last words were; "Heil Hitler! Mien Fuhrer, Mien Fuhrer." Even though he probably knew Hitler was the one who ordered him killed, he couldn't help but to stay loyal to Hitler to the very end.
The SA were fiercely loyal to NSDAP and to Hitler. But, pre-1934 the NSDAP had left and right wing internal factions competing with each other for dominance, often on a regional basis. The SA leadership under Rohm were on the left of the NSDAP factions, pushing selected radical-left ideas about seizing both private wealth and state institutions, ideas strongly associated with far left, class struggle, politics. This is why the SA was able to recruit so many ex-communists into their ranks, who were called 'Beefsteaks' as they were deemed brown on outside and red on inside. Hitler was a ruthless opportunist, maneuvering on a path to seize full state power, and would ultimately betray and murder the SA leadership to gain the acceptance of existing state elites. The SA rank and leadership failed to grasp when they had become redundant to Hitler in this political game. Thus history shows, it is not just the communists who eventually line up their 'useful idiots' against the wall, after they become surplus to requirements, irrespective of their deep belief and loyalty to the political cause.
@@100milnicAlthough the leadership of the SA were certainly on the socialist side of nationalist socialist, it is well known that many former Freikorps members joined the ranks of the SA for the sole purpose of beating up communists. Even if it is true that ex-commies did join the SA, there was still an overbearing dislike or even hatred of communism in the SA.
In the business world, if you fall into disfavour, you can be sure that your associates will ‘bring out the knives’, metaphorically speaking. The literal interpretation would be Julius Caesar getting stabbed by his associates ‘bringing out the knives’. The ‘long knives’ part could mean the long reach of the conspiracy, in that a lot of other ‘Enemies of The State’ were dealt with at the same time. A ‘long knife’ (sword?) reaches farther that a regular knife, perhaps? Just my opinion. I could be wrong. I often am.
@@graememceachren1118 I think it's because purges are carried out by high ranking officers. Historically, daggers are carried mostly by officers as the ceremonial tool. Also because it was a purge carried out in secret, not by public trials, the average Hans couldn't know what happened to the SA.
Hearing modern day figures compare America to this stuff makes me sick to my stomach. Jemelle Hill in particular, really wish they would educate more on the atrocities that were committed so ignorant comments wouldn't be made.
President Hindenberg was old and frail, and died without a Vice-President to take over. I wonder what would have happened if there had been someone in place.
Kurt von Schliecher was instrumental in bringing Hitler to power because he wanted to protect the power of the aristocratic class and thought Hitler could be used to do that. All of these "von" people are from aristocratic families or were given the title by the last Kaiser.
Heydrich just expanded his power after this night. He had files on everyone including some said on Hitler himself proving that Hitler had Jewish blood running through his veins. After his attempted assassination, he was actually recovering quite well for a couple of weeks when all of a sudden, he simply died within 24 hour period. Heydrich and Himmler were not exactly best friends, in fact, some might have actually called them enemies.
@@nonamegame9857 he died of infection due to pathogens on the horse hair stuffing in his car seats. Antibiotics likely would have saved him. Himmler may not have liked Heydrich, may have even feared him but could not have consolidated his powers without him.

Hitler and Rhome were lovers, he didn’t marry until the end honouring her loyalty. He had to curb Rhome to get the backing from Hindenburg and the army.
I kind of think Hitler was probably gay though, which is why so many homosexuals were close to him, and why with Himlers influence he began to “purge” homosexuals lol

You are absolutely correct. The term, that I attribute to Stalin, that describes this behavior is "useful idiot".

Rome is a city in Italy, this fellow's name is pronounced like "Rerm"!
