“Night of the Long Knives” is one of the bloodiest myths of the 20th century. The destruction by SS militants of the unarmed leaders of SA stormtroopers lured into a trap involuntarily revives the darkest scenes of the ancient German epic. Why did Adolf Hitler give his bloody, fatal order? Is it true that Ernst Röhm and the Strasser brothers conspired against their Fuhrer? Who benefited from destroying the most sincere and honest supporters of the Nazi movement through the hands of loyal SS men? You will find the answer to all these questions in V. Kuznetsov’s book “The Night of Long Knives.”
