Members of many units wore civilian clothes to support the fiction that the disturbances were expressions of 'outraged public reaction.'

The "Enabling Act" was passed years earlier, in 1933.

Within a matter of weeks it had become illegal to criticise the government. A new secret police force was established, the Gestapo, which immediately began arresting ‘unreliable’ persons.

One of the most disturbing indications from Trump, in my opinion, is his obvious disrespect for freedom of speech in this country.
