The role of the SA
To protect Nazi speakers from violence, protection squads were used. These men were organised into the Gymnastic + Sports Section, which was developed into the SA in 1921, led by Ernst Röhm.
The members of the SA were more commonly known as the 'Brownshirts' because of the colour of their uniform. The SA became the private army of the Nazi Party + pledged loyalty + obedience to it.
During the period 1921-23, the SA was used to disrupt the meetings of the Social Democratic Party + the Communist Party.
