Read up on the 'night of the long knives'. Hitler feared Rohm who was the leader of the Brown Shirts. On that night in June of '34, Hitler sent out his elite SS and murdered Rohm and hundreds of other Nazi leaders, putting him in sole charge of the party.
I'm well aware of that. The leader of the Brown Shirts was plotting Hitler's assassination. But this has nothing to do what what I said in my previous post, since that was a very different time in Germany. When the Brown Shirts took to the streets to put down the Bolshevik rioters (which the Weimar government was too weak and feckless to do), they were supported by the German people.
