Sturmabteilung

"The Sturmabteilung? Oh no, it's back from history. But at least the Sturmabteilung couldn't get plunged by the Schutzstaffel, but instead, they could be befriended. That's how Fegelein would do to them at least..."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Night of the Short Knives

The Sturmabteilung (SA; German pronunciation: [ˈʃtʊɐ̯mʔapˌtaɪlʊŋ] (About this sound listen)), literally Storm Detachment, functioned as the original paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party (NSDAP). It played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Its primary purposes were providing protection for Nazi rallies and assemblies, disrupting the meetings of opposing parties, fighting against the paramilitary units of the opposing parties, especially the Red Front Fighters League (Rotfrontkämpferbund) of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), and intimidating Slavs, Romanis, trade unionists, and, especially, Jews – for instance, during the Nazi boycott of Jewish businesses.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, they no longer fight against the paramilitary units of Coalition of the Red Star-aligned parties, and they no longer intimidate Slavs, Romanis, trade unionists, Jews, etc.
