The Night of the Long Knives, also known as Rohm Putsch, began on June 30th, 1934, when Adolf Hitler along with an entourage of Schutzstaffe began the purge of Sturmabteilung leadership. What followed was a multi-day power consolidation characterized by arrests and slaughter, driven by Hitler’s infamous paranoia. The results of the purge made clear to all of Germany that Hitler was both supreme leader and above the law.
