First edition of this commemorative history of the formation and explosive growth of the Sturm Abteilung Brownshirts or Stormtroopers who were initially Hitler’s private army organized under the command of Captain Ernst Roehm. Many of them were former members of the Freikorps and were very effective in disrupting the political activities of Hitler’s opponents and played key roles in the 1923 and 1933 elections. Ironically this book was published at the height of the power of the Brownshirts and was released right after the purge engineered by Hermann Goering and Heinrich Himmler in which Ernst Roehm and Gregor Strasser were killed. After the Night of the Long Knives the SA went into a long decline against the rising power of the Schutz Staffeinel SS under Himmler’s leadership. Friedrich Floeder, unknown

First edition of this very scarce work tracing how the NSBO Labor Front was broken from its Socialist leanings and brought within the Nazi Party ranks. After the unions were dissolved by Hitler in May 1933 many of the NSBO thought they would become a state-sanctioned monopoly instead they were relegated to a minority position and the youth organization was transferred entirely over to the control of the Hitler Youth. After the purges of the SA the labor leaders were forced to report directly to the Nazi Party and were no longer allowed to intervene in State or local affairs. Within a very short amount of time the Labor Front turned from being an economic revolution of the masses into a characteristic Nazi bureaucracy.
