In June 1934, Hitler unleashed the Night of the Long Knives, a purge that ended the power of the SA and its leader Ernst Röhm. Once a close friend of Hitler, Röhm dreamed of replacing the German army with his millions of stormtroopers. But his ambition made him dangerous. SA leaders were executed, and Röhm himself was shot in his cell. This film tells the story of Röhm’s rise, his betrayal, and the bloody purge that reshaped the Nazi regime.
