Historical note: coming to power on January 30, 1933, Hitler realized the SA and SS Sturmabteilungen under Ernst Röhm's leadership could make a problem among his leadership. Röhm's views on the direction of 3rd Reich was beginning to sway from those of Hitler. SA & SS at this time carried the daggers with a dedication to Ernst Röhm. On the night of June, 30th of 1934, Hitler began his political purge, lasting until 2nd July, known in history as the “Night of the Long Knives.” Ernst Rohm was arrested and shortly killed by SS-Obersturmbannführer Michael Lippert. Hitler began to clear any reminder of Ernst Röhm, and the order went out to remove his name from the blades of the daggers too. Most of the daggers were modified, and Ernst Röhm inscription was removed in full or just his name. The dagger with full Röhm inscription is one of the rarest and most desirable of the German Third Reich Daggers.
