This 90 minute docudrama from 1967 by late Axel Eggebrecht and Inge Stolten depicts the rise and fall of the SA (Sturmabteilung; brownshirts) and their dream of what they called the 'second revolution'.

Wikipedia writes: The Night of the Long Knives (German: Nacht der langen Messeri), or the Röhm purge (German: Der Röhm-Putsch), also called Operation Hummingbird (German: Unternehmen Kolibri), was a purge that took place in Nazi Germany from 30 June to 2 July 1934.

It is a detailed account on what took place resulting in the disappearance of the populist movement.
