I don’t remember a square being right in the middle of Germany’s flag between 1933-45

Brown Shirts brought to you by Hugo Boss

I like how the Swastika on the flag is blotted out but there’s still a ton of swastikas on their shirts

[alexwombat]

"The brown shirts" is a nickname given to them by both the journalists and theyr oponents in regards to theyr attire, theyr actual name was "Sturm Abteilung" (or SA for short) liturly meaning "assault detachment"

Basically Nazis' version of Mussolini's Black Shirts?

"He will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived...He had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. He had in him the stuff of which legends are made."
- John F. Kennedy, 1961 Diary, President of the
United States of America

Those brown shirts remind me of a group today 🤔

The "SA" -Sturmabteilung, german for "Storm Division".

Puts a square on the giant flag.



Ignores all the little flags on their uniforms.



Classic.

The fact you have to blur out the swastika.

Easy to be intimidating when the population is unarmed...

[deaganachomarunacathasaigh]

Imagine supporting a political group with your heart and soul, then when your deified party got into power they KILLED YOU ALL. Talk about tieing loose ends 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Serves them right

[SoSarchastic]

What made them intimidating too was the fact that, at their height, they numbered in the millions. While the German army was still hamstrung by Versailles limits.

The night of the long knives was impactful as it brought the Brownshirts under the party, but won the NSDAP the army’s trust too

[dragongaming]

I like how he blurred the swastika on the flag but on the next picture there's an unblurred swastika on the arm on some guy

[jatohyuga]

I'd like to point out before Adolf took power every political party had their own militias that attacked eachother in the streets

[philk]

As a German i feel sad for how little y'all know...😐😅

[averagejoe]

What about the blackshirts? Nobody talks about those.

[rockguy]

Boy, if antifa ever gets a history book they might be a little nervous
