TO GO WITH AFP STORY
(FILES) - A picture taken in the 1930's shows troops of the Sturmabteilung or SA, the paramilitary organization of the NSDAP, the German Nazi party. Created in November 1921, the SA (also known as stormtroopers or brownshirts) carried out numerous acts of violence against socialist groups throughout the 1920s, typically in minor street-fights and played a key role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s. The SA remained active until the end of the war, but its only significant action after 1934 was Kristallnacht or Night of Broken glass, when all SS and SA units were activated to riot against Jews, destroying Jewish businesses and synagogues.
