Night of the Long Knives Murders at Lichterfeld Barracks
Started 1934-06-30Ended 1934-06-30
Around 150 SA leaders that were either captured at their homes or arrested at the Brown House headquarters where taken to Lichterfeld Barracks and put into a cellar. Four at a time they were called out, had their shirts taken off, had red circle targets drawn on the heart area of their chest and shot. The wall behind the the soldiers caked up with blood and gore. It became so disgusting that the men of the firing squad had to be relieved by others because the sight was so horrifying.
