Sturmabteilung

The Sturmabteilung, (PROSE: Wolfsbane) also known as the "Brownshirts", or SA, was Hitler's private army, who effectively replaced Germany's police force, suppressing subversive Bolshevist elements and restoring law and order. They wore a red band with a swastika on their uniform, and were considered by Pollitt to be Nazis. (AUDIOThe Alchemists)

They were led by Ernst Rohm, and were purged in the Night of the Long Knives. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Exodus, Wolfsbane)
