It's worth noting that the brown shirts began as a series of disconnected militia forces that were called upon to defend businesses and homes during communist riots, history never repeats but it sure does rhyme.
@Coyote@Shadowman311 the brown shirts came from the Freicorps, unemployed soldiers from WW1 which were used to subjugate Poles in the East and subsequently to violently put down any civil disobedience, at the order of the Weimar government
