 The Brownshirts

The **Brownshirts also known as Sturm Abteilung (SA) and Stormtroopers were Adolf Hitlers own private army that he formed himself. Hitler instructed the Brownshirts to disrupt his enemies meetings for revenge attacks. Captain Ernst Roehm was in charge of recruiting these men and he became the first ever leader of the Brownshirts.**   **Most of the Brownshirts were former members of Freikorps (Private armies that flourished during the time after World War 1) and had a lot of experience in using violence against their enemies.**

**The Brownshirts wore Grey Jackets, Brown Shirts, Swatsika Armbands, Ski Caps, Knee Breeches, Thick Woolen Socks and Combat Boots. Including a marching band that would parade through the streets of Munich. At the end of the march Hitler would tell the Brpownshirts to carry out acts of violence on Jews and his Left Winged political enemies.**
