The Night of the Long Knives or "Operation Hummingbird" was an operation in which Adolf Hitler ordered the SS (Schutzstaffel, Protective Squadron) and Gestapo (Secret Police) to assassinate the leaders of the SA (Sturmabteilung, Stormtroopers). Hitler required the support of the Army and Big Business Elites but they did not trust the SA, in order for Hitler to gain their support, he had all the SA leaders assassinated between June 30 and July 2 1934.
The Night of Long Knives occurred on June 30, 1934. More than a thousand high ranking SA officials (Hitler's militant Nazi storm troopers), including several of Hitler's oldest affiliates were executed in a bloody purge by those who opposed the group's radicalism. After this purge, another Nazi organization was created to replace the SA officials: the Schutzstaffel, or the SS. The SS became the most dreaded arm of Nazi terror. Thus the Night of Long Knives was an action of opposition against the Nazi regime that simply gave rise to an even stronger paramilitary organization for the Nazis.
It was a day that Hitler's regime murdered some military leaders in order to ensure their hold on power. They passed a law after the fact, legalizing the actions.
