ERNST ROHM DERIDES ADOLF HITLER
ERNST ROHM (1887 - 1934) Nazi Brownshirt who organized, trained and headed the SA, a friend of Hitler who was at his side in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, later set-up and executed by Hitler following their disagreement on the use of the two million-strong SA. Rare, great content A.L.S. 'Ernst' and also signed 'Rohm' in the return address on recto, 1p. 12mo., Munich, Oct. 29, 1926 to Franz Kugler in Kempten, obviously a close friend. Rohm brazenly insults Hitler, with whom he had had a public break a year earlier. In part: '...Good God, now this fellow comes to Munich again. May God protect Bavaria! Visit me Monday - but not before 10:00! Maybe I will take you for a bite to eat at 11:00 o'clock...' When in April 1925 Hitler and Ludendorff disapproved of the proposals under which Rohm was prepared to integrate the 30,000-strong Frontbann into the SA, Rohm resigned from all political groups and military brigades on 1 May 1925. He felt great contempt for the 'legalistic' path the party leaders wanted to follow and sought seclusion from public life. He accepted a military post in Bolivia for two years until asked by Hitler to return to serve as the SA's Chief of Staff.
