Non-musical history for today: 1934 – The Night of the Long Knives, Adolf Hitler’s violent purge of his political rivals in Germany, took place. At least 85 people died during the purge, although the final death toll might have been higher. Some estimates have said upwards of 700 or even 1000. About 1000 were also arrested. The Night of the Long Knives marked Hitler’s absolute consolidation of judicial power and was a turning point in the establishment of Nazi Germany.
