Nazi Leader Faces Trial Over 1934 Night of the Long Knives
Lippert and Dietrich stand in court alongside other former SS officers in a trial recounting the 1934 purge. The witnesses describe Hitler ordering executions of Roehm and the SA, with Eicke delivering the ultimatum and Roehm's death. Documents cite a Nazi party report and a telegram from Hindenburg praising the action. Lippert argues Hitler saved thousands by quelling the revolt.
