Description: "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 Archives 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 will be of essential interest to advanced students and researchers of Modern European History, Modern German History and Nazism."--Jacket.
