Conditions Leading to Fascism- Violent Enforcement

Source 1: 

In Germany, violent enforcement of the Nazi Party came through the Storm Troopers, (Sturmabteilung, or SA, in German). Because of their uniform, they had the nickname "brown shirts."

Throughout the 1920s and 30s, they were often involved in street fights with members of the communist party. By the mid 1930s, they had thousands of members.

Here is a picture of Brownshirts on on parade in 1930s Germany.

A particularly graphic, though by no means untypical account of stormtrooper activities was provided by a schoolteacher, born in 1898, who had fought in World War I and joined the Nazis in 1929. He was called up one evening with his brownshirt group to defend a Nazi rally in a nearby town against the communists:

"We all gathered at the entrance of the town and put on white armbands, and then you could hear the thundering marching of our column of about 250 men. Without weapons, without sticks, but with clenched fists, we marched in strict order and iron discipline into the catcalls and screaming of the crowds before the meeting-hall. They had sticks and fence-boards in their hands. It was 10 o‘clock at night. With a few maneuvers in the middle of the street, we pushed the crowd against the walls to clear the street. Just at that moment, a carpenter drove through with a small truck and a black coffin in it. As he went by, one of us said: ‘Well, let’s see whom we can put in there.’ The screams, cries, whistles and howls grew ever more intense."
