🇩🇪 ERNST RÖHM
November 1887 – June 1934
Ernst Röhm was born on November 28, 1887, in Munich, Germany. He pursued a military career and served as an officer in the Bavarian Army during World War I, where he was wounded multiple times and decorated with the Iron Cross. After the war, he became involved in far-right politics and was one of the early members of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP).
Röhm was instrumental in the formation and leadership of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the paramilitary wing of the NSDAP. As Chief of Staff of the SA, he played a key role in its expansion, turning it into a significant force within Germany. However, tensions arose between Röhm and other leaders within the NS regime, including Adolf Hitler, due to differing visions for the future of the SA and the party.
On June 30, 1934, during the Night of the Long Knives, Röhm was arrested and executed in Munich as part of a purge against SA leadership. His death marked the end of the SA’s political prominence.
