What where the SA also known as?

Answer 1

The SA, or Sturmabteilung, was also known as the Storm Detachment or Storm Troopers. They were the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party in Germany, playing a crucial role in the party’s rise to power during the 1920s and early 1930s. The SA was known for its violent tactics and street battles against political opponents, particularly communists. Their influence diminished after the Night of the Long Knives in 1934, when many of their leaders were purged.
