SA-Führer: The Senior Leadership of Hitler’s Storm Troops, 1920–1945, Volume 2 (SA-Obergruppenfuhrer, B - G)

In this second volume, Michael Miller and Andreas Schulz continue their exhaustive coverage of the senior leaders of Hitler’s earliest paramilitary army, the Sturmabteilung (SA, Storm Troops), examining the lives and careers of twenty-three individuals who held the rank of SA-Obergruppenführer (from Adolf Heinz Beckerle through Kurt Günther). Although some fell victim to the purge of June/July 1934, most of them continued to serve the Nazi regime in a broad range of assignments until the very end.Here you will find men whose service to the SA was mostly honorary, such as the master of the Nazi legal profession and infamous Generalgouverneur of occupied Poland, Dr. Hans Frank, the head of the Reich Colonial League, General Franz Ritter von Epp, and the infamous gauleiter of Upper Austria, August Eigruber. Others, like Herbert Fust, Kurt Günther, and the historian Dr. Heinrich Bennecke, were entirely committed to their respective SA commands. Drawing on a wealth of official personnel files and other contemporary documentation, Miller and Schulz present a uniquely thorough examination of the SA leadership, superbly illustrated with over 550 photographs.
