Storm
Troops [Sturmabteilung (SA)]
The
SA was the original paramilitary formation of the NSDAP,
being founded in 1921 at a Hofbraehaus beer hall
rally in Munich. The SA was composed mainly of members of
the various Freikorps formations. The Storm Troops
or "Brownshirts" were organized initially to serve
as a protective force at Nazi Party meetings and placed
under the leadership of Captain Ernst Röhm.
The SA exploded in size from an embryonic 46-man detachment
to a massive organization claiming in excess of four million
members in 1934. During this time frame, both the SS and
NSKK were organic branches of the SA. During the war years,
the SA was charged with the pre- and post-military training
of German manpower in cooperation with the heads of the
military services. The German Armed Forces drew much needed
replacement personnel from this group, and by 1944-45 over
85% of the SA had seen active military experience. After
the "Blood Purge" of Ernst Röhm
and company in 1934, Victor Lutze was appointed SA Stabchef
(Chief of Staff) and retained the position until 1943, when
he was killed in an automobile accident. Lutze was succeeded
by Wilhelm Schepmann. For more information click
