This is the first comprehensive history of the SA. In it, Daniel Siemens, one of the most renowned German historians of the younger generation, describes the rise of the troop of orderlies who fought street battles against political enemies for the Hitler movement. By the early 1930s, the SA had transformed itself from a group of thugs into a decisive factor in the National Socialists' conquest of power. In his standard work, Daniel Siemens also shows how even after the purges of the "Röhm Putsch" in 1934, the SA played a surprisingly active role in the Nazi policy of conquest and extermination and the Holocaust.
