Night of the Long Knives

Film for class. This is a classic.

The video is supposed to be in widescreen format, sorry if it is a little squished.

Also, unless you know the story of Kristallnacht, this video can be a little confusing.

Hitler has SS nazis; they are elite. Rohm has SA nazis; they are pigs. Hitler sends the SS (black coats) to kill the SA (brown coats) because they are a threat to his success.

Enjoy :)

I enjoyed this debacle over such an issue. Quite an interesting read. Timmus, thankyou for acting as a respectable gentlemen and not pointing feudal fingers at others. Artur, you really should lighten the mood. There is too much good in the world to be seen and discovered. Laugh a little.

You cannot blame the events of the past with us, only our country and it's leaders. We had no say in the past. We had no ability to change the past. Why do we have to hold the burden of our ancestors wrong doings? Their misdeeds have taught us many things. The only thing the past is good for is to remember what should not be done. Today is now; today is the present and tomorrow is the future. This is what should be worried about and sought to protect.

History books prove nothing. What people say prove nothing. There is no way to tell what has happened in the past is true. You must take everything into context and weigh the facts.

You must always look at a situation from others perspectives. Always. Hitler thought that he was doing a good thing by ridding Jews. In his nation, in his country it was looked upon as a good thing. In other places, not so much. Everything is subjective, but when someone kills people of a nation, nothing is right about that.

Religion is used over and over again to gain the trust of nations. Hitler did gain a significant rise in power due to the Nazi religion. Humans follow blindly; they need to believe that their life is worth something more and follow something that does not exist. This does not mean that I shun religion, nor do I embrace it. I only look down upon leaders and nations who use religion as a means to gain the trust of their people and use it for means other than peace.

Some of the leadership of the SA were homosexuals, like Ernst Rohm. In fact, when Hitler knocked on Rohm's door to arrest him, he was in bed with another man, and Hitler went crazy.
