Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled!
The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment; let it never appear in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation. None is fitter than the three lower degrees of Free Masonry; the public is accustomed to it, expects little from it, and therefore takes little notice of it. Next to this, the form of a learned or literary society is best sited to our purpose, and had Free masonry not existed, this cover would have been employed; and it may be much more than a cover, it may be a powerful engine in our hands. By establishing reading societies, and subscription libraries, and taking these under our direction, and supplying them through our labours, we may turn the public mind which way we will. - Johann Adam Weishaupt

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.
