Hitler's seizure of power in January 1933, in the eyes of some
historians, was the culmination of an unstoppable march. Yet the
final months of the Weimar Republic saw the Nazis sliding into ever
deeper trouble. In particular, the Sturmabteilung or SA - activist
heart of the Nazi movement was showing signs of breakage. The
stormtroopers who filled its ranks increasingly angered with party
leadership, swerved from the party agenda, and fell to dispute and
violence at odds with Hitler's cultivated image as herald of a new
order. Stormtroopers and Crisis in the Nazi Movement casts fresh
light on the crisis that beset Nazism during the final months of
Germany's first republic. The book scrutinizes two sets of hitherto
understudied records. SA morale reports in the US National Archive
show what Nazi leaders themselves knew about their radical
paramilitary wing. Police reports on the stormtroopers, from the
former DDR state archive in Potsdam, show what Republican
authorities knew. This book should be of interest to advanced
students and researchers of Modern European History, Modern German
History and Nazism.
