On the night of June 30, 1934, Adolf Hitler unleashed a brutal political purge across Nazi Germany. Known as the Night of the Long Knives, this orchestrated wave of assassinations targeted rivals within the Nazi Party—especially Ernst Röhm and the powerful SA—and eliminated any opposition that could challenge Hitler’s rising authority.

In this episode of Oopsie Archives, we unpack how this internal bloodbath didn’t just tighten Hitler’s grip on power—it marked the moment the Nazi regime fully transformed into a total dictatorship. Using state propaganda and a legal smokescreen, Hitler spun mass murder into “national salvation.”

You’ll learn:
• Why Hitler turned on his closest allies
• How the SS rose by crushing the SA
• The chilling efficiency of state-sanctioned terror
• How this purge silenced the last voices of resistance
• Why this moment was the true birth of total Nazi control

This wasn’t just a power move—it was a warning to the world. And it worked.
