The Night Of Dual Daggers (Gregor Strasser)

The Night Of Dual Daggers, also called Operation Nuremberg  was a purge that took place in Greater Germany from February 19th to March 8, 1933, when the Strasserite regime carried out a series of political extrajudicial executions intended to consolidate Strasser's Absolute power in Germany. Many of those killed were leaders of the SS, the NGWP' own paramilitary Blackshirt's organization; the best-known victim was Hermann Goering, the SS's propaganda minister and one of Hitler's longtime supporters and allies. Leading members of the right-wing faction of the Nationalist German Workers Party (NGWP), along with its figurehead, Adolf Hitler, were also killed, as were establishment conservatives and anti-Strassers (such as head of interior Heinrich Himmler). The murders of Blackshirt leaders were also intended to improve the image of the Strasser's government with a German public that was increasingly critical of thuggish Blackshirt tactics.
