Walter Stennes was expelled from this group after leading two failed revolts demanding higher pay and better supplies. In its early years, this organization founded by Emil Maurice competed against a similar group called the Organisation Consul, or OC, which it later partially absorbed. Edmund Heines was serving as deputy leader of this group when he died. This group took its name from a military formation used in Hutier Tactics during the Spring Offensive. One member of this group wrote an anthem that began with the words "the Flag on High", and which would be renamed for him after his 1929 assassination. That man was Horst Wessel. Leaders of this group, including Ernst Rohm, were killed during the Night of the Long Knives. For 10 points, name this first paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party, the predecessor of the SS.
