                       war." Hitler took pride in the violence of the SA. In Mein Kampf, he described

                                                     the existing intention. The room was
                                                     overcrowded and had therefore been closed by
                                                     the police... The small S.A. awaited me in the
                                                     vestibule. I had the doors to the large hall

                                                     eight or ten again and again on their enemies,
                                                     and little by little actually begun to thrash them
