General Discussion / Nazis and Commies
« Last post by SSG Snuggle Bunny on Today at 09:20:11 AM »I've been going through William L. Shirer's. "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" looking for a passage about how the judges of the day refused to allow meaningful prosecution of the Nazis.
While searching online for additional clues, I stumbled upon a different book: "Weimar Radicals: Nazis and Communists between Authenticity and Performance" by Timothy Scott Brown.
On page 136 he writes that Rudolf Diels, the first head of the SS estimated that 70% of the Brownshirts were former Communists.
