BLOG #020 - Dark Occult Origins of Nazism (The Night of the Long Knives)

The Enabling Act

In effect, the Enabling Act gave Hitler dictatorial powers. Now possessing virtually absolute power, the Nazis abolished labor unions, banned all other political parties, and began imprisoning their political opponents, first at the improvised camps, then in concentration camps. The “Law Against the Formation of Parties” of July 14, 1933 legally established the Nazi Party’s political monopoly in Germany.

Night of the Long Knives

From June 30 to July 2, 1934, Hitler disempowered the Sturmabteilung through secretly coordinated assassinations of the SA’s leadership in an operation known as the “Night of the Long Knives”. Hitler accused the leader of the SA, Ernst Rohm of conspiring to stage a coup d’etat, but this was a pretense to justify the suppression of any intra-party opposition.

The executions were carried out by the Shutzstaffel (SS), Hitler’s protection squadron, led by Reichsfuhrer-SS Heinrich Himmler and assisted by the Nazi’s Gestapo (secret police force) and members of the Reichswehr (German armed forces). After the “Night of the Long Knives”, the SA continued to exist, but lost much of its importance, while the role of the SS grew significantly. Formerly only a sub-organization of the SA, the SS was made into a separate organization of the NSDAP in July 1934.

Hitler becomes Leader and Reich Chancellor

On August 2, 1934, Hitler merged the offices of party leader, head of state, and chief of government into one, taking the title of “Fuhrer und Reichskanzler (Leader and Reich Chancellor), blurring the distinction between structures of party and state even further. Under Hitler’s direct authority, the SS increasingly exerted police functions and the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) became the de-facto intelligence agency of Nazi Germany
