The
Night of the Long Knives The Night of the Long Knives involved the violent
purge of certain members of the Nazi Party from
June 30th to July 2nd in 1934. Called the Nacht der
langen Messer in Germany, this event occurred over a
series of days and entailed the Nazi regime’s murder of
those Hitler considered to be political enemies. In
particular, those targeted belonged to the Strasserist, a
left wing faction of the Nazi Party that Hitler
distrusted.
Those killed during these events included leaders and
major figures in the Strasserist such as Kurt von Schleicher
(a former Chancellor), Gustav Ritter von Kahr, and Gregor
Strasser. Also targeted and killed were the main leaders of
the Sturmabteilung (SA), a paramilitary organization of the
Strasserist which operated in a manner similar to the
Brownshirts of Mussolini’s fascist regime in Italy.
After the Night of the Long Knives, Hitler had
eliminated both real and perceived opposition in
the Nazi Party. He was able to put his main
loyalists in charge of various operations in the
German government and further expand his ability
to control the government and the populace
