Started 1935-04-11Ended 1935-04-11
Four SS officers went to the office of then major Oskar von Hindenburg to retrieve documents detailing the death of Schleicher. With guns drawn they demanded the papers back, but instead of the handing over the papers Hindenburg pushed a secret alarm button. His armed guards came in and disarmed the SS officers. The SS men were then taken to the basement of the building where they were shot. Hindenburg cremated the bodies and sent them to the head of the SS - Himmler.
