Led by Ernst Röhm , the SA engaged in street fighting and terrorized political opponents, but their radicalism and influence threatened Hitler's rule, leading to their purge in the "Night of the Long Knives" in 1934, after which the SS replaced them as the Nazi's paramilitary force. Formation: The SA was founded by Adolf Hitler in 1921 as a way to protect Nazi meetings and attack political enemies. Brown uniforms: They were called "Brownshirts" because their uniforms were brown, a choice influenced by a surplus of brown-dyed shirts originally intended for German colonial troops in East Africa. Members: The group was initially comprised of unemployed men and ex-soldiers, many of whom came from the lower-middle class and were drawn to the group for a sense of belonging and pride. Street terror: Pseudo-military tactics: Threat to Hitler: Purge: SS replaces SA: This event effectively ended the SA's power as an independent political force, with the SS (Schutzstaffel), initially a sub-division of the SA, becoming the primary paramilitary organization.
