Night Of Long Knives Summary Assessment

The Germany Army also condoned what had happened in the purging of the Night of the Long Knives, showing that their side was with Hitler and thus they began their association with him that would nearly lead them to a world conquest (1996). The two-hour, highly emotional speech that Hitler gave at the Reichstag explaining his behavior to the German people as well as to the disbelieving foreign press would be one of the most important speeches of his career (1996). The "brownshirts" were either brought into Hitler's army or they just simply disappeared while the SS would become Hitler's main tools of mass murder that would go on for another eleven years (1996). Section E: Conclusion.

The Night of the Long Knives was absolutely vital in Hitler's consolidation of power. Before the purge, Hitler had opposition in the SA party who were still interested in some of the original ideas of the Nazis -- a socialist revolution mainly. Ernst Rohm was a man that Hitler was wary of because of his leadership over the SA. Rohm had plans for the SA such...

This type of leadership would have stopped Hitler from becoming the leader that he wanted to become and so he had to find a way to do away with Rohm and get rid of the SA. Hitler knew that Rohm would not be adverse to using force if a situation needed and so Hitler's only way of taking away the potential threat of a coup was to purge the SA and kill Rohm. The result of the Night of the Long Knives is that Hitler made himself President and Chancellor -- a new position called "Der Fuehrer."

Apparently Plath wrote the poem during her stay in the hospital, which can be a depressing place notwithstanding all the nurses and orderlies dressed in white. The appendectomy followed a miscarriage that Plath had suffered through, so given those realities in the poet's life -- especially for a woman to lose a child she had been carrying -- one can identify with the bleak nature of the poem.
