Reply #108: i think the SA did survive the Rohm purge.

not sure of what its role was in third riech, post Rohm...it was really a paramilitary auxiliary of the NSDAP, not a true military or police formation like the SS or GESTAPO.

Still, a thuggish bunch.

Not a good sign that Gustav was a member, but then Arnold was not a product of the 3rd Reich, either, having been born in 1947. From what I understand people didnt talk about that time much when Arnold would have been growing up.....

....which is proven, I think, by Arnold asking the Weisenthal Center to research his dad. Seems to imply that Arnold didnt know the full story, or suspected he didnt, about his dad, hence his private investigation
