the 'thugs' were the friekorps...and for some reason they decided to ally with the nsdap and I don't even understand what they were thinking (just that they hated bolsheviks, I guess).. but the friekorps leaders were killled by the nsdap in the night of the long knives
A similar mistake as in the topic subject: it is Freikorps. The murdered during the night of long knives were SA leaders, not exactly Freikorps.
The anthem of NSDAP has this line:
SA marschiert mit ruhig festem Schritt.
So it was obviously not some situational alliance.
