    They eyewitness accounts are not held as the highest piece of evidence there still is alot more. There were stories of dragons at the Battle of Hastings and Giants with the Mongols, does that mean those events didn't happen? You also have to remember alot of the modern survivors were children when it happened so their brains tried to rationalize the traumatic events thus the overblown stories that are often critiqued by historians.

    Kristallnacht?Night of the Long Knives?Butcher of Prague?Oskar Dirlewanger?Mengele?

    Such an honourable regime.

    Kristallnacht?

    This was a spontaneous reaction to the murder of a German diplomat by a Jew (who probably lived to see the end of the war). However, the SA was ordered to protect Jewish businesses, and any SA member that participated in anti-Jewish violence was prosecuted under the criminal code. Can you say the same about today's antifa thugs?

    Night of the Long Knives?

    Purges are part and parcel of the power process. NotLK is quite small as far as that goes.

    Mengele?

    The stories about him treating typhus patients and delivering babies are believable. The stories about him sewing twins together and changing people's eye colors are not.

    Where do you get that the SA was ordered to protect jewish businesses? everything I've read has shown they participated in the rioting.
