Roehm quit the country, became military adviser to Bolivia. The Führer saw the weakness of the loosely organized, unwieldy mob of Brown Shirts and decided to form, within the Storm Troopers, a carefully chosen elite group of men to be known as the Schutzstaffel ("Protective Corps"), better known as the 55 Guards. Their primary function at first was to guard...
