This man with the funny little moustache, who was a company runner during the “The Great War”, had now become leader of the Nazi Party. His followers were commanded to swear an oath of allegiance to their newly appointed head. They in turn would refer to him with strict orders as…”Mein Fuhrer”…a name he relished on every occasion.
Less than one month after his appointment as Chancellor his orders of terror came swiftly and suddenly, he began to lay his plans out for revenge and hatred upon all who had opposed him and were now against him. For his devoted followers, all those that had supported him with their loyalty, his now faithfully appointed henchmen, he gave them great power that they wallowed in.
Hermann Goring…Minister for the Interior for Prussia, and chief of the notorious S.S. assembled thousands of fanatical followers to carry out a ruthless purge against the Prussian Police Force, killing hundreds, and drafting over 30, 000 of the S.A. and S.S. troops to replace those he had murdered.
On the night of February 27th 1933, the Reichstag building was mysteriously burned to the ground, this gave Hitler the ideal opportunity to secure for himself the title of “The Great Crusader” of the German nation, he also outlined his hatred of the Communists of the east, and was an ardent opposer of the Russians and its Slavic peoples.
The Army waited in trepidation as to what would prevail, and to all those in doubt as to what this new leader could do soon became evident.
Hitler and the Nazi Party claimed this outrage as a Communist revolutionary plot to overthrow his government, accusing the Bolsheviks of a preposterous attack on Germanys symbol of power. Hitler’s reign of terror was about to be unleashed upon those of the inferior classes…Jews, Liberals, Socialists, Communists, and Religious Groups who opposed him.
Not only were these to feel the full force of the hatred and terror that was soon to be wrought upon them, but his own Army of Brown-Shirts and Generals were called into account.
“The Night of the Long Knives” as it was called, came swiftly on June 30th 1934, hundreds were simply rounded up, arrested without trial and forcibly transported to prisons and herded into cells, these “traitors” were immediately hung on meat hooks through the back of the neck, slowly choking to death, others were hung by the neck using very thin piano wire that slowly cut their throats severing the windpipe, leaving them gasping for breath in a slow agonizing death by strangulation.
Film crews had been ordered to roll the cameras and capture this barbaric event of killing on film as his enemies were slowly choking to death. Hitler and his henchmen would later watch these films with pleasure.
Hitler realized that the great force of Nazi storm troopers, under the leadership of Ernst Rohm was becoming dangerously powerful and were a threat against his rising power, he wanted all the leaders arrested and murdered, then he would take control of this great force of men. The decision was made and an S.S. assassination squad headed for the lakeside resort of Bad Wiesee, were Rohm was holidaying with his S.A. cohorts. The S.S. broke down his bedroom door shot and killed all those with him and dragged him away to prison, where he was executed.
That night had many insane rewards for Hitler he butchered over 400 of his own followers, deciding that they had betrayed him and unworthy to live in his “New Nazi Regime”.
The executions and butchering continued as Hitler’s mad reign of vengeance continued unabated, he was determined to kill all in opposition to his rule as the “Fuhrer”.
There would be no remorse or guilt shown by Hitler against those he had killed, this left a terrible foreboding of what was to come, there would be absolutely no mercy shown to those who soon were to feel the force of his wrath, there would be no escape of the evil soon to follow.
