1938 Reich party rally of the NSDAP in Nuremberg, SA Encampment
Lot 361
The SA or Sturmabteihing (Storm Division; commonly known as the Storm Troopers) was originally organized in 1921when Hitler brought together tested brawlers in the early days of his political ascendency in Munchen. At that time, the SA primarily consisted of WWI veterans. By the time Hitler became chancellor in 1933 its ranks had risen to nearly 700,000. In the ensuing months, however, the SA hierarchy lost favor with Hitler and in 1934 some 50 SA leaders were murdered by the SS on his orders. Even so, by 1938, its membership was over a million. With the outbreak of WWII in 1939, the SA took over the training of military conscripts.
