After Hitler sent out his SS men to completely destroy the SA, their roles changed dramatically. They were originally a private body guard for Hitler, but now they started terrorizing and intimidating the people of Germany to be obedient to Hitler and the Nazis. The SS had the power to arrest people without trial; they could also search houses and they ran the concentration camps. On The Night of the Long Knives, Hitler sent the SS out to kill opponents or take them to concentration camps. Hitler was extremely concerned about Rohm and so sent his SS men into his house where he was arrested and later shot. After this had been done Hitler went to the Reichstag and announced that Rohm had been arrested and shot for trying to seize power. Hitler purged large numbers of political opponents from the SA, including its leader, Ernst Roehm, whom he saw as a threat to his position. At least 85 people died and over 1,000 were imprisoned, establishing Hitler alone to be, in his own words, "the supreme judge of the German people."
