What was the reason that the SA in Germany had to be dissolved?

Answer: The SA, aka Brown Shirts under the leadership of Roehm, had been a close ally of Hitler since the early 1920's. By 1934 there were almost 2.5 million SA troopers. Roehm expected his SA to be the new peoples army & dismantle the regular German Army. In order to gain support from the Army, Hitler had to purge the SA. This included the execution of Roehm. !934 saw a bloodbath as the SA & its leadership were liquidated. That was the deal Hitler had to make, and a deal that was needed as the SA were not professional soldiers and Hitler saw no value in trying to train them. Without the elimination of the SA, Hitler would be at the mercy of the German generals & their forces. The regular army had the real military power in Germany & wanted the SA eliminated.
