Episode 141 - Brownies

<p>This week is a break from the main narrative, and I head back to the 20s to cover the development of the SA, as well as touch on the origins of their off-shoots and eventual rivals, the SS. The relationship between Hitler and the Brownshirts would be fraught from almost the get-go, and ironically it would be the their mutual success in the removal of all other threats to the Nazi Party that would open the SA to be purged themselves. </p> <p> </p> <p>Bibliography for this episode: </p> <p> </p> <ol><li>Siemens, Daniel Stormtroopers: A New History of Hitler's Brownshirts Yale University Press 2017</li> <li>Hohne, Heinz The Order of the Death's Head: The Story of Hitler's SS Penguin Books 1969</li> </ol><p> </p> <p>Questions?
